This one came to us with a part-built D11 from the same builder. We're told it has been unused since lockdown, however a chassis so stiff to turn over it borders on being seized, a leak from the wet header, and blow by past regulator, pistons and valves would tend to suggest a full overhaul rather than recommisioning is now required.
That said, a worthwhile project - it's a handsome design, not one we see modelled very often.
