10801
Commercially-made boiler by Blackgates Engineering, we've issued it with fresh hydraulic and steam certificates. The steam pump on the front running board isn't piped up to a water feed, but ticks over freely on steam.
Some minor wear in the motionwork, the locomotive steams freely and runs well in both directions - there's some video of it on our YouTube channel here.
