A venerable example of LBSC's "Maid of Kent" 4-4-0, this one has come to us as part of a large collection, comprising mainly traction engines although with several 5 inch gauge locomotives.

The boiler has had a hydraulic test with new certification issued, the chassis runs very nicely on air in both directions with crisp, even exhaust beats.

Work required to recommission will include replacement of the missing cab roof, stripping and reassembling of the boiler fittings - most of which leak - and a repaint.
