8586
An older engine, paintwork is "working clothes", however the combustion chamber boiler makes steam like it's going out of fashion. The finely built chassis runs exceptionally well - it ran on the rolling road for an hour last week with the safety valves feathering pretty much constantly - notching up accurately in either direction with a crisp, even exhaust beat.
