An older Simplex with commercial boiler by Chambers - it recently came in along with a traction engine from the owner who was trading up to a larger steam wagon.

Cosmetically scruffy, the boiler had had a satisfactory hydraulic test and is warrantied as sound, the locomotive runs on air.

Usable pretty much as is, it would make a good winter "fixer upper" - a repaint and some cylinder cladding sheets would make a world of difference!
