This one came to us from the builder - boiler is a commercially made job by Blackgates Engineering, the rest of the locomotive has been put together in a workmanlike way.
We quite like the "Gas Works" appearance given by the short chimney and saddle tank - something of the Ffestiniog Railway's "Volunteer" about it!<> Complete with four wheeled tender.
