This one has come to us from a long time customer and highly experienced model engineer, with many 5 inch locomotives to his credit, several of which have appeared here over the last twenty years. The Mogul has been a "back burner" restoration project for many years - now well into retirement he's decided to thin out of some of his collection.
The engine runs well on air in either direction. Boiler is untested due to a copiously leaking clack valve on the mechanical pump which will require stripping and overhauling before any meaningful kind of hydraulic test can be done.
