A 5 inch gauge "Tich", scaled up from LBSC's 3 1/2 inchgauge design in small boiler, Walschaert's gear variant.

Copper silver soldered boiler is a commercially made job by Kennions, it's had recent hydraulic test with certificate issued for same.

The engine runs on air in both directions, if somewhat desultorily. A running restoration, there are various jobs that will need attention, including:

  • Replacement pressure gauge
  • Service leaking clack valve
  • Service axle pump
  • Service leaky blower valve
Originally set up to take water from a driving truck, the engine is piped up for feed/return for the axle pump and a screwed connection for a hand pump - side tanks are dummies.
