Bought at that time by a highly talented engine builder and boilermaker in Glasgow, it's been further assembled to the condition you can see in the photographs opposite.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e    The boiler has been largely assembled, though is missing its foundation ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e    Having completed what must be one of the finest GWR 15XX 0-6-0PTs we've seen in 5 inch gauge, the builder turned his attention to this, his last project - a half-size version.\u003cp\u003e    A beautifully made 15XX to LBSC's \"Speedyette\" design, serialised in \"Mechanics\" magazine in 1951, scaled down from his popular 5 inch gauge \"Speedy\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The work of a highly gifted engineer, the engine has been built to an exceptional standard and includes a chassis which runs like the proverbial sewing machine on air.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The cab is a work of art in its own right, with finely flanged bunker (the alloy former is included should you feel the urge to make another), recessed steps and die-straight precision riveting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The copper boiler exists as a loosely assembled kit of flanged and formed parts - other than tubes and some material for the foundation ring it appears complete and ready to silver solder together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    There is a set of drawings, along with a box of loose parts including pressure gauge, hand pump, part-formed tanks, superheater and an exquisitely made regulator which is silky smooth in operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    One of those engines where the pictures tell the story.
