5 inch gauge GWR 14XX 0-4-2T

A 5 inch gauge GWR 14XX by Silver Crest Models, supplied new in 2016.

In steam it runs in both directions with fairly even beats, although with some blow by from either valves, pistons or both. Glands leak, safety valve accumulates horribly and needs replacement.

Motionwork and valve gear have the usual generous clearances we've come to expect from these models.

The pump bypass has been removed along with some pipework, causing the side tanks to empty quickly - the previous owner had used a water tank on his driving truck. Coupled up to a remote tank on test in the workshop, both injectors work flawlessly.

Complete with manufacturer's original boiler documentation and past club test history.
