This one came to us as part of a collection of 3 1/2 and 5 inch gauge locomotives from a long-time customer.
Of somewhat pedestrian construction, the engine runs on air in either direction quite well, although the right hand coupling rod knock on the underside of the running board.
The fountain is missing and regulator leaks badly preventing any meaningful testing of the boiler until rectified.
