A 7 1/4 inch gauge 0-4-2T to Ken Swan's "Bridget" design, cosmetically tired but a free-steaming engine that runs well - there's some video of it running outside the works yesterday afternoon here.

It came to us with several other locomotives from the same private railway, including a Hunslet and GP38 which we sold earlier in the year.

On arrival the injector was unreliable due to restriction in the steam valve. We've replaced it with a different pattern giving full flow which has sorted the problem, the axle pump has been serviced and now work effectively.

Complete with a planked wagon driving truck with water tank, piped up to feed the injector.
