It will require the cladding removing for a thorough inspection - given the painting required, now would be a good time to lift the boiler.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    On test the engine steamed freely and ran well - albeit with a good deal of racket from the bottom end, with the motionwork and valve gear needing some rebushing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The beautiful scale safety valves worked as well as they look, the injectors picked up reliably - and the authentic-sounding Stanier \"hooter\" whistle is lovely!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Shabby and somewhat tired, but well built in the first place - it's a well-proportioned, nicely detailed engine with a semi-scale backhead.
