3 1/2 inch gauge Midland 4-4-0

A 3 1/2 inch gauge Midland 4-4-0.

An older engine, it requires some recommissioning work - the water gauge seals leak and pressure gauge requires replacement, and the paintwork is on the shabby side of serviceable.

That said, it's a well-made example of an elegant design. The boiler proved structurally sound on hydraulic test, and the chassis runs well in both directions on compressed air.
