3 1/2 inch gauge part-built "Conway" with boiler kit

A well-advanced chassis for Martin Evans' 3 1/2 inch gauge "Conway" design - immensely grubby and with a fair covering of light surface rust, however decently made and pushes along freely.

Valve gear is largely complete and erected - its missing a pair of valve spindles - along with brake gear and axle pump.

Complete with sundry loose parts, castings and material; a new flanged copper boiler kit supplied by Blackgates Engineering and drawings.

For those unfamiliar with this freelance take on a typical narrow gauge Hunslet quarry engine, we've had several in over the years - there are pictures and some video of a particularly nice one here.
