10550
An older engine, it steams freely and runs well in either direction - there's some video on our YouTube channel here..
The boiler has had hydraulic and steam tests with new certification issued, feeds and safety valve all worked reliably on test.
We like this one - a quirky narrow gauge design, of plausible outline and well put together originally.
