Blimey Ryan, that model looks too good to carry as a load! I noticed it a couple of weeks ago and it does seem to be underpriced - workmanship looks good and, while there is a lot to do, you are getting a lot for your money. Compare the cost of a STW kit with this engine, four wheels, tender, smokebox, hornplates and other parts - it looks a very good price to me. There was a finished example at Market Bosworth which belongs to a gentleman I know; there is a photo of it is here on TT. The boiler may be useable - nutted stays but not yet soldered.
Steve - how about a length of steel tube and making a model Lancashire Boiler for the load?
