5 inch gauge GWR "King Henry VIII"

A 5 inch gauge GWR King, "King Henry VIII", recently arrived with us in part exchange for a 9F. A well-built engine, it goes well and steams freely. We had it running for an hour outside the works recently, there's some video of it here.

 
Paintwork is in good order, it has some nice detailing including lamps, headboard and dummy mechanical lubricator and pipework on the running board - the working lubricator is between the frames, with a sensible size tank for a day's running.
