One of the nicest Durham & North Yorkshire traction engines we've seen, a finely built model which runs very well. In pretty much "showroom" condition, it's spent recent years unsteamed in a collection overseas. From the condition of the motionwork and tyres, it appears to have been steamed on a handful of occasions in the past and probably never run on the ground.
Boiler has had a twice working pressure hydraulic test in recent days, followed by steam test - it's in excellent mechanical order, the engine runs very well.
