A freelance 2-6-4T, based on LBSC's "Speedy" chassis at the front and with a variety of influences elsewhere.

Built to a fairly pedestrian standard throughout, the chassis appears largely complete; the copper boiler is largely silver soldered, with soft solder calking to the transverse firebox stays.

Originally built without provision for a regulator, we suspect it was in that form that it was club tested back in 2019 - it comes with their twice working pressure hydraulic test certificate. Work on the backhead to provide regulator and clack mountings appear to have been done later.

Complete with some drawings for "Speedy" and a box of parts.
