The crank axle looks well done, the eccentric sheaves are  fitted. There is a box of castings which looks to include most parts to  complete. There is a pretty scary looking old nutted and calked boiler which,  the previous owner assured me, has had a recent successful hydraulic test,  complete with superheater, ashpan and grate (which has a broken bar).\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThere are also a set of tender frames erected, along with  castings for horns, axleboxes and dummy springs.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eI sold a really super-duper part-built Chamber's boilered  Clarkson Schools a couple of years ago - it's in the archive, \u003ca href=\"..\/..\/archive\/1699.htm\"\u003estock  code 1699\u003c\/a\u003e if you want to see a rather more advanced version.
