A very interesting loco, and much more detailed than the Hornby 3 1/2" Rocket.
I particularly like the detailing at the back of the boiler with all the various controls.
Look forward to seeing your finished result.

I finished cleaning it up today, and I glued the tender panel back on and the water tank strapping on. All I gotta do now is somehow replace the missing strap, polish up the wheels with a wire brush, and just give it a bit of oil to make it move more freely.

Excellent clean up job Pete. You can only hope that the owner will take better care of it now.
I wonder why the loco rear wheels, and the tender wheels, were not painted yellow?

I would suggest it is because the inners aren't wood like the fornt set.
