5 inch gauge LB&SCR "Terrier" 0-6-0T - stock code 12095

A 5 inch gauge LB&SCR "Terrier" 0-6-0T to Martin Evans' "Boxhill" design.

Something of a restoration project, the chassis is stiff to turn over, it's missing its injector (although with steam valve and associated pipework fitted) and has one broken screw in the inner dome.

On hydraulic test at 160psi the boiler, whilst apparently structurally sound, showed beads of water on several stays and tube ends - these may well seal up under steam and are not untypical of an engine which hasn't been used in many years.

Paintwork and lining - in the attractive, if technically challenging "Improved engine green" has been well done and remains in good condition.
