13501
A 45mm gauge GWR 57XX 0-6-0PT by Aster Hobbies.
Built from a kit, it was seized solid when it came in. An inspection of the valve chest revealed a mass of black silicone sealant; this removed, and with a light spray of PlusGas on the pistons and valve rods, it now turns over stiffly but without tight spots.
Apparently unsteamed from new, it's in excellent cosmetic condition throughout.
Complete with custom wooden carrying case and original manufacturer's toolkit.
