9174
An older engine, it steams freely and runs well, notching up in forwards gear. Axle and hand pumps are effective, the injector picks up and feeds with a constant dribble from the overflow.
Motionwork and valvegear are robustly proportioned in this design, well made in the first place with some wear evident.
