3 1/2 inch gauge "Tich" 0-4-0T

A 3 1/2 inch gauge large-boilered "Tich" 0-4-0T in Walschaerts gear form.

This one came to us with club certification for a hydraulic test conducted in January 2023 at which time the cladding was removed.

The chassis runs in fairly desultory fashion in either direction on air, although with little control available from the regulator, which is currently seized.

The engine has obviously been run extensively in the past, with wear evident in the motionwork and valve gear.
