Due to COVID etc I am sending the engine to The Steam Workshop in Liversedge for work and commission sale. The flatbed body will be fitted and a removable roof akin to the preserved H type will be made and fitted also. The boiler will also receive a fresh set of tickets (and all preliminary work required to obtain them, which will be minor as the boiler is in excellent condition). The engine will receive new rings. Other odds and ends may be done too including potential road registration.
By the end of it the waggon will be a fully sorted machine ready to go with paperwork, photos and videos etc to back it up. The TSW team are, as you may know, a very talented bunch who will be able to bring the best out of the waggon. Any buyer will be welcome to discuss further work with them if they have anything in mind.
