3 1/2 inch gauge "Tich" 0-4-0T

A 3 1/2 inch gauge "Tich" to the LBSC design, in large-boiler, Walscharts gear form.

Unsteamed from new, it's come in as part of a small collection all built by the same man.

Chassis is fairly stiff to turn over although without tight spots. On air it gives every sign of wanting to go, given some lubrication and gentle running in.

The superheated boiler has had a twice working pressure hydraulic test - structurally sound, it has one pinhole leak in the firebox which would take up under steam although, given that it's currently in clean, unfired state could be calked.
