This is as close to the original as possible but with a modern welded steel boiler. The cylinder is brass, the beam and framing are largely wood and much of the plumbing lives up to its name, being in lead.

Brian Hillsdon has added the following information: - The components of this engine were made from 1975 to 1986. It was first steamed in 1987.
