A well-made 5 inch gauge "Maid of Kent", in our book one of LBSC's best designs - this one the inside cylinder, Joy gear variant.

Boiler feed is by twin injectors with a hand pump in the tender.

A well-sorted engine, it runs very nicely; free-steaming, quiet and notching up running in either direction - there's some video of it here.
