Pictures opposite were taken recently, words are below from last time we had it in.
A 3 1/2 inch gauge LNER Pacific to LBSC's "Hielan Lassie" design, his take on Thomson's rebuild of Gresley's A1. An older engine, paintwork is working clothes rather than show finish, however it steams freely and runs well - Steve borrowed it for a couple of months when it came in, reporting favourably on its performance at his club track.
