We've had this one in before, it saw little use after the owner bought one of our Staffords - it's now come back in part exchange for a 4 inch scale traction engine. Words and pictures below are from last time it was here, it's been steamed a handful of times since, still looks pretty much the same.
Ken Swan's "Jessie" design done up in narrow gauge guise with tall cab and chimney - as with the original design, it makes a compact, easy to handle engine in 7 1/4 inch gauge.
Silver soldered copper boiler, feed by axle pump and injector. Cast iron cylinders with slide valves actuated by Walschaert's gear with pole reverser in cab. Mechanical lubricator.
Complete with a ride on tender with water tank therein.
