Fitted with a commercially made boiler by Kingswood, the engine has been built to a high standard throughout. Fit and finish of the motionwork and valve gear is good, showing little evidence of wear; platework is neatly flanged and fitted.
Backhead is well laid out - semi-scale for ease of driving whilst giving an impression of the full-size locomotive.
Boiler had recent hydraulic and steam tests with new certification issued - there's some video of it on the rolling road here, it steams freely and runs quietly.
Paintwork and lining is to a good standard, showing minor signs of wear commensurate with use but overall in good, bright condition.
Complete with purpose-built, fitted transport crates for locomotive and tender.
