A 5 inch gauge GWR 45XX Prairie tank, assembled by the owner's late father from a Winson kit.

Unmodified, put together with the parts as they arrived from Winson, the locomotive is, predictably, stiff to turn over - it needs stripping and reassembling, checking for the fit and free movement of parts as the job proceeds.

The locomotive appears complete bar a missing fusible plug. The silver-soldered boiler, by Winson, is new and unsteamed.
