Wessex Auction Rooms, 27th November.
Lot 65

2 1/2" Gauge 'Princess Royal' Live Steam Locomotive Part Assembled Kit - main frame cut, four cylinders completed, wheels completed including the eccentrics for central cylinder, front bogie completed, tender completed (except wheels)

Not much information in the pictures, "four cylinders" and "central cylinder" don't quite square so viewing essential I think, but if you are near Wessex might be worth a look.  No mention of a boiler.

Looks like the LBSC design of 1933-34.
4 cylinders are correct - I suspect the 'central cylinder' reference is just down to lack of someone's technical knowledge or a simple typo!
More info here and pictures of another part built one here
