A 5 inch gauge GWR 15XX 0-6-0PT. Based on LBSC's "Speedy" design but with much extra detailing, including Swindon style safety valves; prototypical return crank, crosshead and valve spindle guides, and finely riveted cab and bunker with lamp irons.

Unsteamed from new, the engine has a silver-soldered boiler by Western Steam. It runs on air - better one way than the other, we suspect it could be improved with attention to the valve setting.
