13068
Laid up for many years and very grubby, it's had a twice working pressure hydraulic test here with certification issued for the same. The engine runs well in both directions on compressed air.
The regulator is seized open and the locomotive will undoubtedly want recommissioning before steaming, but underneath the shabby paintwork is a worthwhile restoration.
