5 inch gauge Southern L1 4-4-0

A 5 inch gauge Southern L1 4-4-0, based on LBSC's popular "Maid of Kent" design in our favourite variant, the inside cylinder/Joy valve gear version.

We last had this one back in 2017, it came to us from a long-time customer with a fine garden railway up in Cumbria. A well-built engine originally, it is now in need of work including repacking glands, servicing a recalcitrant injector and attention to the leaky tender tank.

A worthwhile project - underneath it's a nicely built engine, boiler remains in good condition with current hydraulic certificate.
