3 1/2 inch gauge 9F 2-10-0 "Evening Star" - stock code 9360

A 3 1/2 inch gauge BR 9F 2-10-0, an exceptionally well-built engine with much authentic detailing putting it into a different class to the - in all other repects entirely laudable - LBSC/Evans design.

The engine was bought on completion by a retired company director who had it professionally painted and lined. Fitted with a silver soldered boiler by Western Steam, the engine has never been fired and remains in ex-works condition.
