5 inch gauge Britannia "Morning Star"

A well-built 5 inch gauge Britannia "Morning Star", apparently only test-steamed from new.

It's had some work in recent weeks, including new springs to replace the rather soft originals.

In excellent order throughout, the engine runs extremely well - it's mechanically very quiet.

Complete with a pair of well-made transport crates.
