A 5 inch gauge "Simplex" 0-6-0T, a well-advanced project which has languished for many years in storage, during which time the chassis has seized.

In the first instance it needs pulling apart, cleaning and reassembling. From what we can see the chassis is complete, the silver soldered copper boiler looks well made, with neatly flanged plates and good solder penetration.
