A particularly well-built 5 inch gauge LNER B1, to Martin Evans' "Springbok" design.

Nicely made in the first place and well maintained from new, it needed nothing more than a couple of new bushes in the bottom end before being passed "fit to go" when it went through the workshop last week.

On test it steamed freely and ran exceptionally well, notching up in either direction.

Fit and finish of motionwork and valve gear is to a high standard, crisply machined. Paintwork was well-executed and remains in good, bright condition.
