A venerable example of Don Young's "Marie E" design, we bought this one from the builder along with his "Rail Motor".

The silver soldered boiler is by Western Steam, warrantied as sound it's had a hydraulic test with certification issued for same.

The engine runs on air, the regulator leaks and water pump pipework fouls on the connecting rod - it needs some judicious replumbing.
