A dismantled 5 inch gauge 0-6-0T to the Kennions "Butch" design.

We've got boiler documentation showing that this was in regular use down in Kent between 1994 and 2005. We believe it was dismantled at that time for some now-unknown maintenance or restoration, which has stalled at this point.

The amateur-built boiler looks like the result of hard work, but has passed a hydraulic test at 135psi with no signs of leaks or deflection.

The running gear has been nicely machined, the chassis runs well in both directions on compressed air.
