A 5 inch gauge BR 9F 2-10-0 "Evening Star", a kit-build engine put together by an experienced model engineer.

Unsteamed from new, the boiler has had a recent hydraulic test with certification issued.

Paintwork and lining has been applied to a good standard.

The engine runs on air in desultory fashion, with leakage past the piston valves typical of an unmodified kit engine; the reverser gearbox is stiff to operate.

Cylinder and piston valve issues have been well-documented, with much information available on how to modify - we've had several kit-build Britannias and 9Fs over the years which have been made to work well.
