The restyling has been done with a certain degree of flair - think Roland Emmett meets Townsend Hook - which I like at least as much as the standard gauge original.
This one came to us as a part exchange from a long time customer and retired main line steam driver. Boiler has had a twice working pressure hydraulic test with certification for same, chassis runs on air.
An older engine, it requires some work, including attention to a leaky regulator and blower valve, and replacement of worn coupling and connecting rod bushes.
