On the plus side the boiler is sound - it's had recent hydraulic and steam tests with new certification issued.
On the other side, prettty much everything that moves wants rebushing; various boiler fittings leak; the main steam pipe to the nearside cylinder leaks at the union and the paintwork's grim.
The engine runs after a fashion, there's a clip of it here.
