Since arriving with us the boiler has had hydraulic and steam tests with new certification issued. The water gauge has had new seals fitted, the connecting rods have been rebushed.
In excellent condition throughout, the paintwork was well applied in the first place and remains in good condition. The engine runs very nicely, free-steaming and responsive to the regulator.
Complete with a slate wagon style driving truck.
