5 inch gauge Maid of Kent 4-4-0

A 5 inch gauge 4-4-2, based on LBSC's "Maid of Kent" design but originally built as a tank locomotive.

The last owner was in the process of turning it back into a tender engine, whilst leaving it as an Atlantic.

The chassis runs in both directions, with some blow by past pistons and valves. Fit and finish of motionwork and valve gear is better than first impression might suggest, fettling would improve it cosmetically.

The boiler is a commercially-built, CE-marked job by Steam Technology, supplied in 2015 and unsteamed from new.
