Thanks all :)
Not sure how many there are out in the wild I know of 4 myself.
Each engine is marked with a number the highest number I have seen is 15 so far so there must be at least that many made , but how many survived I don’t know :p
Mine is mostly number 15 but with an engine from number 11 as the boiler was not in great condition. I sold the spare boiler as I don’t have the time to restore 2 of them 😄

Was yours missing the engine? or beyond repair?

I do favor the "bigs" & that is a nice BIG engine, I really like the mechanical sound she makes while running, thanks for showing.

Dan that is a beast of an engine and beautiful at the same time. I like the colour and the markings on the engine and she runs nicely.

Nice one Dan!  8)
