3 1/2 inch gauge LNER V4 2-6-0 "Bantam Cock"

A 3 1/2 inch gauge LNER V4, built to LBSC's popular "Bantam Cock" design. It runs well, but a leak at the dome flange has been tackled with an ill-executed soldered repair, failed through lack of heat, I suspect because it was attempted in situ. Not a particularly difficult job to do, but the boiler cladding does need to come off to allow access.

Silver soldered copper boiler, 80psi working pressure, feed by injector and axle pump with auxiliary hand pump in the tender. Gunmetal cylinders with slide valves actuated by Walschaert's gear with screw reverser in the cab, mechanical lubricator.
