A 5 inch gauge LNER B1, No.1003 "Gazelle", built to Martin Evans' popular "Springbok" design. Work to date includes:

  • air-running chassis
  • smokebox with chimney and smokebox door with hinges and locking handles
  • silver soldered copper boiler
  • set of stainless steel superheaters
  • brass cab
  • complete, painted tender
  • drawings

The boiler has never been fired and is blanked up ready for hydraulic test - an initial squeeze showed a multiplicity of leaks, it will require work or replacement, depending on your facility with a propane torch.
