5 inch gauge "Butch" 0-4-0T - stock code 12092

A particularly well-built and painted "Butch" 0-6-0T, in ex-works condition, unsteamed from new.

Featuring a high standard of workmanship throughout, fit and finish of the motionwork and valve gear is excellent, platework is neatly formed and fitted.

The copper boiler is silver soldered, with threaded and calked firebox stays. It's had a twice working pressure hydraulic test with new certification issued, no advisories other than minor weeps noted from a few of the stays heads - these would take up under steam or would, while still new, be easy to recalk.

The chassis is slightly stiff to turn over, though no more than we would expect from a brand new model; it runs in both directions on air.
