Boiler has had a twice working pressure hydraulic test, the chassis turns over freely and runs on air with some wear audible - it will require maintenance work on the motionwork and valve gear over winter, including rebushing the connecting rods.
Paintwork is mainly in good condition, apart from inside the cab which appears to have been painted with a lolly stick. An interesting technique...
