5 inch gauge LNER B1 "Bongo"

A 5 inch gauge LNER B1 "Bongo" to Martin Evans' popular "Springbok" design.

An older engine, well-built in the first place, with crisply machined motionwork and valve gear, neatly fluted.

Paintwork is tired, the engine needs a variety of jobs doing, including attention to a leaking regulator.
