A much modified "Pride of Penrhyn" from ModelWorks, the builder turned it into a decent performer - I sold it last year, the new owner is about to move house which means parting with his engines and workshop. Must be a pretty nice house.
For a blow-by-blow listing of what has been done to the engine, along with more pictures (it was raining yesterday when I took these in the workshop, hence quality and quantity), see the archive. It's in pretty much the same condition now as then, except rather more polished and with new Blackgates blower and a bottle of steam oil.
