It's recently come back in, still in fine condition, still runs beautifully. The last owner has added a pair of gear guards - sensible, the final drive in particular was a bit of a maneater before - and had a very nice fitted canvas engine sheet made for it.
The original listing in the archive gives details both of the engine and builder. Driving it again yesterday I was reminded just how much I like this design - it's a sensible sized engine, a useful bit bigger than a four inch scale engine (which allows you to do things like drive it side by side with a friend from the tender) but still small enough to cart about easily with a car and trailer.
There's a clip of Jon and Connor running around with it yesterday afternoon here.
