Unused for several years, it's recently come in along with a freelance 4 1/2 inch overtype wagon. We have its last club certification, the boiler has had a recent hydraulic test in the workshop here with certification issued for same.
It will want some recommissioning work - most glands and fittings leak copiously and the valves blow by - but the wagon is complete, the engine free to turn over.
