3 1/2 inch gauge GWR County 4-6-0

A venerable 3 1/2 inch gauge GWR "County" 4-6-0.

The boiler is an ancient nutted & calked construction - we've declined to test it.

The fountain is loose on the boiler - it will need the cab removing to fix - and there are various fittings loose or missing.

The chassis turns freely by hand.
