5 inch gauge 45XX 2-6-2T

A 5 inch gauge GWR 45XX 2-6-2T. Based on a ModelWorks kit, much modified to make a good-looking example of this handsome design, with performance to match.

The boiler has had hydraulic and steam tests with new certification issued. The injector and hand pump are both piped up to be fed from a separate tank, the side tanks on the locomotive are dummy.

We were impressed with just how well this one went. Free-steaming, it runs with square, sharply cut off exhaust beats in either direction.
