One was built at Beech Hurst a number of years ago, lived at the club in its own dedicated brick built locker which had a copper boiler and coal fired. It now resides near Leeds with a good friend of mine where it will get some minor work done to the rear chassis axleboxes otherwise in usable condition - it ran at IMLEC almost 2 years ago for a bit of fun. Brian who built it built two locos before. A 3 1/2" Tich and a 5" B1 and he was a bank manager. He found a contact in the states who were able to send over the original blue prints and the rest is history. Adam Was that the one that required riding on the tender on the raised track? How was that with the tunnels?!

How was that with the tunnels?! That's the one! It wasn't too bad as tunnels were tall enough. Adam
