Arnold, that is a fine specimen of the BL Super Enterprise!
This is the version with the (fake) Belpair fire-box and the smoke-deflectors in heavy duty black (probably repainted?).
These engines are a sight for sore eyes - especially when running on tracks. I dream of running a "Doppeltraktion" (double header) one day - I have two BL Moguls  and now we could share our two black BL Supers... ;)

I am a bit astonished that you talk of a four wick burner - my Supers all have vaporizer burners (the pros and cons of which are usually under discussion...).

Thomas - I made a photo of the burner - there are 4 wicks and I am sure it is all original. The black of the Loco seems to be repainted - but I do not care cause it is live steam and therefore it has to run from time to time ;D
Greetings over the lake, Arnold
