A quantity of castings, flanged boiler plates and set of drawings for a Southern S15 to Martin Evans' "Greene King" design. Castings are nice quality in gunmetal and iron, the builder mercifully only attempted machining one - a driving wheel - which he made a complete mess of before giving up. The wheel could be recovered by turning off the centre of the hub, attaching a new piece then machining to size (or you could cheat and simply order one extra wheel from our friends at Reeves).
