5 inch gauge "Maid of Kent" 4-4-0

A 5 inch gauge "Maid of Kent", built in 2008 it's come to us from the builder's son.

Run until a couple of years ago when the lockdown put the kibosh on club running, it has been stored indoors since.

The boiler has had recent hydraulic test with new certification issued; the engine runs on air, although the crank axle requires attention to a loose mainshaft - not a particularly difficult job once the wheelset is out and on the bench.

Complete with firing irons and drawings.
