A part-built "Minx", LBSC's 0-6-0 tender engine derived from the popular (are considerably more common) "Maid of Kent" 4-4-0.

Work to date comprises a complete chassis including pumps, mechanical lubricator and steam brake cylinder - it's an inside cylinder design with Joy valve gear. There is a smokebox with chimney and cap completed and the cab is made and fitted. The tender is complete. Not sure who was responsible for the Postman Pat paintjob, the thing really wants stripping, cleaning and repainting.
