A venerable example of LBSC's 5 inch gauge "Maid of Kent", it's come to us in part exchange for a particularly good LNER B1 in the same gauge.

An older engine, it was fitted with new CE-marked boiler in 2021. It runs well on air in either direction; platework and paintwork are to an unexceptional standard.
