3 1/2 inch gauge NER T-class 0-8-0

An ancient 3/12 inch gauge "Netta", LBSC's take on a North Eastern 0-8-0. Famously he described the build in five gauges simultaneously in "Model Engineer" (O-gauge, Gauge 1, 2 1/2, 3 1/2 and 5 inch) - over seventy at the time, I've no idea how it kept that many figures in his head.
 
Turns over freely, had all manner of repairs over the years, some better than others.
