8475
Built in 1998, the engine has recently come in from a man with a new "General Gordon" on order. In regular use until recently, the engine steams well, although starting to need some rebushing of the motion work.
This one would make a good "rolling restoration", it could be improved whilst in service this season, with a strip and repaint over next winter.
