The work of a prolific, highly talented model engineer - responsible for several stationary engines and some of the finest 3 1/2 and 5 inch gauge locomotives we've seen in many years - the No.9 is finished to exhibition standard, with much added detail.
Quality of fit and finish is first class, the engine turns over without a trace of wear or slack in the bearings. The engine runs well on air, there's some video of it here.
Completed in 1975, the engine remains in ex-works condition.
