In good order throughout, the engine appears to have done very little work in its life. Mechanically sound, it steams freely - there's a clip of it running on the rolling road here. Paintwork is in fine condition, it polishes up very well.
Complete with a tender supplied by the manufacturer, the complete outfit has come to us from a garden railway in Norfolk, the owner having up-sized to a Stafford and Feldbahn.
Of compact proportions, the Hunslet is easy to handle and transport, a comfortable lift for two people.
