Kit-build 5 inch gauge BR 9F 2-10-0 "Evening Star" - stock code 6453

We sold this one back in 2015, it's recently come back from the builder's family in pretty much the same condition, bar a couple of valve gear components being removed from the chassis and stored in the boxes of parts. Pictures opposite and words below are from last time it was here.

A partly-assembled kit-build 5 inch gauge 9F by Winson Engineering. The chassis has been assembled and a start made on the tender, the rest remains in "flat pack" form.
