5 inch gauge "Butch" 0-4-0 - stock code 10211

A 5 inch gauge 0-6-0T to the Kennions "Butch" design.

An older engine, it's had a good deal of use and is now due a light overhaul including some rebushing of the bottom end.

Boiler is sound and warrantied as such, with recent hydraulic test and certification for same; it steams freely and runs well, there's some video of it on the rolling road here.

The injector is set up to feed from a separate water tank housed on a driving truck or similar.

All water feeds worked well on test, although the injector clack leaks back slightly.

Safety valves are completely useless and want either servicing if you're patient and on a budget, or else simply replacing with a pair from Polly Engineering which will be beautifully made and work reliably.
