Pictures are from 2009, taken on a hot afternoon when David, Steve and  I took the engine down to the club to run it round for the afternoon (as I  remember we took a King as well that wouldn't go round the tighter curves).  Condition now is pretty much the same as you see it here, we've had it running  in the workshop this afternoon, still goes just as well.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eA beautifully made example of Don Young's L\u0026amp;Y 2-4-2T, the  work of a prolific engineer who has many engines to his credit, several, like  this one, award winners. It was running for most of the day on Monday (where it  was difficult to get Steve off it so that I could have the briefest of drives).  The engine runs particularly well, free steaming and with valves set spot-on -  setting off with 40 pounds on the clock and notching it up as the engine got  underway saw the safety valves feathering at the end of the first circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eDetail work is excellent - I was particularly taken with the  paintwork (hand lined, the L\u0026amp;Y crest hand painted), the re-railing jack on  the running board, finely fitted cab with planked floor, semi-scale backhead  controls and pressure gauge with face sign written \"L\u0026amp;YR\"\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eSilver-soldered copper boiler with superheaters, working  pressure 80psi, feed by injector and crosshead pump with auxiliary handpump in  the offside tank.
