A well-built and nicely detailed 5 inch gauge "Simplex" 0-6-0T to the popular Martin Evans design.

The engine is free-steaming and runs well, notching up in both directions - there's some video of it running here. Paintwork is good, with a few minor blemishes - overall it presents very well.

The silver soldered copper boiler has had a recent twice working pressure hydraulic, followed by steam test with certification issued for same.
