5 inch gauge LNER O1 2-8-0

A 5 inch gauge LNER O1 2-8-0 built to Martin Evans' "Nigel Gresley" design.

An older engine, it runs although with wear apparent between axleboxes and horns.

On hydraulic test the commercially-built boiler showed pinhole leaks on two tubes - one a superheater flue - at the smokebox end, with evidence of an old repair.
