5 inch gauge 0-4-0VBT

A 5 inch gauge vertical boiler locomotive, powered by a twin cylinder vertical engine with slide valve actuated by Stephenson's gear, with silver soldered copper boiler.

The boiler has had a crudely executed gas conversion, with the burner apparently held in with some fencing wire.

Boiler feed is by hand pump and an electric pump powered by a small dry-fit battery - looks and sounds like the sort of thing you'd find in a coffee maker.

We have some history with the engine, including a commercial hydraulic test certificate expiring in June 2023.
