An older engine, it's been well maintained and remains in good condition. Attractively painted in LMS red, the paintwork shows some wear consistent with use, although good overall.
The engine runs well and steams freely, notching up in either direction - there's a video here of it on the rolling road outside the workshop yesterday.
