5 inch gauge "Simplex" 0-6-0T

A particularly well-built example of Martin Evans' popular 0-6-0T "Simplex", a one-owner engine that has come to us direct from the builder.

In good condition throughout it runs very well, notching up in either direction - there's some video of it on the rolling road here.

The boiler had had recent hydraulic and steam tests with new certification issued, we've fitted a new pair of safety valves and injector.

Axle, hand pump and injector are all effective, the engine happily kept itself in steam and water on the rolling road for an extended period without recourse to the blower.

A well-sorted example of this popular design - we rate this one.
