A well-built GWR 15XX 0-6-0PT to LBSC's "Speedy" design, an older engine that has spent the last few years on display in its owner's house.

Silver soldered copper boiler, 90psi working pressure, feed by injector and axle pump with auxiliary hand pump. Gunmetal cylinders with piston valves actuated by Walschaert's gear, pole reverser in the cab. Mechanical lubricator.

An older engine, this one was nicely made in the first place and runs well. Boiler has had a hydraulic test which shows up a damp patch at the rear of the foundation ring - it looks like an old leak and, whilst we consider the boiler structurally sound, will need calking.
