An ancient "barn find" 5 inch gauge LB&SCR "Terrier" to Martin Evans' "Boxhill" design. Complete, although liberally coated with surface rust on the upper surfaces, with firehole door, reverser and most of the fittings seized.
Down below it's a happier story - the chassis was well-oiled before storage, the engine pushes along. Boiler still has the remains of a fire on the grate, it looks like it was simply put away after its last outing.
