Beautiful resto Steve.
Thank you John these engines are difficult to solder up and not for the faint hearted well worth the effort in the end though....Steve

Merseys have to be the most attractive little engine, and you've done a great job on that one. Good to see it finally steaming after 2 years  ;)  Now go display it on the living (lounge/sitting) room shelf  8)
