A well-built "Simplex" 0-6-0T, in good mechanical order and running well, with some wear to the paintwork.

The engine steams freely and runs well, notching up in either direction.

The cab roof is missing - not a difficult thing to make, the original was mounted on keyhole slots allowing it to be quickly detached (which is probably the reason it's gone missing...)
