We originally bought this one back in 2021 - it's been lightly used since, and has recently arrived back with us complete with a new pair of custom-built transport boxes.

We've issued new hydraulic and steam certificates, it runs just as nicely now as it did last time - words and video below are from that time.

A 3 1/2 inch gauge LMS Black 5 to LBSC's "Doris" design; a well-built engine in the first place, it remains in good condition with little discernible wear in the valve gear and motion work.

The silver soldered copper boiler has had recent hydraulic and steam test with certification issued for same, water feeds all work reliably.

The engine steams freely and runs particularly well.
