Doris - 3.5" Black Five

(1/3) > >>

raynerd:
My Uncle sadly passed away during the summer. My Aunty kindly gave me his Doris, Black 5, that he spent about 20+ years making! I`ve yet to have it steaming but wanted to show you some photos.













If anyone has any info about this engine or has any comments, I`d appreciate it. I`m looking forward to running it.

All the best

Chris

Very nice  :thumbup:

When was it last steamed ? Probably a while ago, so get a boiler test performed before it ends in tears  :bugeye:

raynerd:
Thanks Andrew, it is a lovely looking engine.

It has come with 10+ years of boiler certificates and the last one was April this year, 2016. It was last run late spring, May this year. It has been well looked after as were all his engines. He was actually an avid Gauge 1 enthusiast.

Thank you for that Chipenter. So this was a build in ME magazine? I didn`t know that.
