5 inch gauge SE&CR R1 0-6-0T

A 5 inch gauge SE&CR R1 0-6-0T by Maxitrak, the first example of one we've yet seen. 

The boiler is in current club ticket; we've issued new commercial certification, the boiler passing a 135psi hydraulic test with no signs of leaks or deflection.

We've serviced it in the workshop, there's some video of it in steam below - it steams freely and runs quietly, though noticeably better in forwards than in reverse. We've issued new steam certification.

A couple of niggling issues remain; the injector proved fussy and the regulator rather stiff and snatchy in operation.

The handsome Southern livery is in good order, with a few minor chips to wheels and lining commensurate with use.

There's more information and a technical spec on Maxitrak's website here.
