An older 5 inch gauge model of an LMS 3F "Jinty" 0-6-0T - not sure why so few of these are modelled, it's an attractive engine of a size that's small enough to handle but still big enough to do a useful job of work on the club track.
This engine has recently come in as part exchange for a new "Stafford", the previous owner hadn't used it in some years. It's had a boiler test, we've run it in the workshop - goes well and steams freely, but sorely needs a serious tidy up and repaint.
