I bought this engine from the builder back in 2010 - there are pictures and details about it in the archive here - an experienced engineer who had also built a GWR 14xx 0-4-2T to Martin Evans' "Dart" design and was well on with a Black 5 "Highlander" by the same designer before anno domini called a stop to heavyweight projects.
In the three years since we sold it, the engine has been dismantled to repaint into the Isle of Man dark blue livery - the project has stalled in recent times, it recently arrived back in one fairly large lump and a few boxes of bits.
