A 5 inch gauge GWR 15XX 0-6-0PT to LBSC's "Speedy" design, an older engine that came to us recently as part of a collection of steam and battery electric locomotives.

An older engine, well made in the first place it steams freely and runs very well - there's some video of it on the rolling road here.

The hand and axle pumps both work well, the injector requires replacement.

The locomotive is fitted for vacuum, although doesn't provide much "suck" - we suspect a leaky brake valve which will require lapping in.

We don't have any documentation for the boiler, a twice working pressure hydraulic test showed up a pinhole leak on the foundation ring which took up under steam, it otherwise appeared dry and structurally sound.
