A well-made 0-6-0 tank engine to Martin Evans' "Simplex" design, comprising a complete air-running chassis fitted with a silver-soldered copper boiler, complete with smokebox assembly. Work remaining is largely platework and plumbing.

The boiler carries test stamps on the foundation ring for 110psi working and is warrantied as in good condition, capable of passing any further club test required.

Fit and finish of the motion work is to a high standard, the engine pushes along easily, with even exhaust beats. Cylinders are in cast iron with slide valves actuated by Walschaert's valve gear with a screw reverser.

For some reason unknown, the frames have been lengthened by an inch or two by use of bolt-on plates at the rear - these could easily be removed and the drag beam refitted in its original place if required.

There is a small box of miscellaneous pipes, fittings and bits of regulator included.
