We sold this one to a local beginner earlier this year, who after a brief dalliance with steam has decided to move on to new hobbies. We picked it up from the same spot in his workshop to which we delivered it back in May - it's in exactly the same condition now.

A 3 1/2 inch gauge North Eastern R1 4-4-0 to LBSC's "Miss Ten to Eight" design - not something we see very often, I think we've had two or three complete engines in the last twenty years.

Work to date comprises a rolling chassis with gunmetal cylinders and valve chests fitted; some valve gear and motionwork; platework for cab and splashers and a largely complete tender.

Complete with much of a flanged boiler kit (with formers), grate and ashpan, unmachined castings including brake ring, dome and chimney, and drawings.
