An older engine, paintwork is "lived in" although the engine itself still steam freely and runs well - there's a clip of it running outside the workshop here., notching up fully in forwards and a useful couple of notches in reverse.
Safety valves open at 90psi and drop 10psi before closing cleanly with a "pop", water feeds all work well. The regulator leaks past slightly.
Complete with drawings and construction manual with LBSC's "words & music".
