Sold November 2011 Back to Archive

I sold one of these back in March – this one’s just arrived in similar condition. Typical Don Young design, they steam well and are easy to drive – the short tender makes it little more of a stretch than a tank engine.

Silver soldered boiler, 80psi working pressure, feed by axle pump and injector with a hand pump in the tender. Gunmetal cylinders with slide valves actuated by Stephenson's gear with pole reverser in cab, twin hydrostatic lubricators.

The work of a man who built many other stationary engines, traction engines and locomotives – this one has been unused for some years but needs little more than a good clean to be ready for action.
