Noticed this engine on the ME website this morning.

"This loco was running on air until I decided to strip it down to paint. When re assembled it will not run, so needs attention to the (Stephenson) valve gear. Comes with complete tender, smokebox is done, silver soldered copper boiler, but has small leaks at firebox (easily caulked I would think) Priced to sell at 350 pounds, or consider a swap for a stationary engine, possible cash adjustment"


No photos shown and we can assume no boiler test certificate I think. Seller is in Leeds.
