Default Merryweather Valiant boiler

This one is a bit of an oddity compared to your regular Merryweather.

Known use dates back to the 1990s in a steam launch. Following this, it was used in a freelance steam wagon after a full rebuild including new firebox, tubes and a basic single coil superheater. It steams brilliantly with no issues but its tests have lapsed.

It has full boiler history to go along with it, as well as a scanned printed copy of an old Merryweather book detailing the boiler and the pump setup it would have been supplied as part of. There are numerous photos detailing the rebuild of the boiler and subsequent testing. Various other accessories are included and it has valves, gauge glass etc all fitted and currently has some unprototypical wooden cladding as well although this is just attached with two straightforward bands so can easily be removed if you would prefer it to look more original.

It has a flared ashpan rather than straight and has had a modification to make the chimney removable for storage.

Currently it's still fitted to the freelance wagon, but will be removed along with a number of other components as the wagon is planned to be fully rebuilt, nut and bolt, with new boiler and engine etc. Just putting feelers out at the moment as I know these things don't exactly sell like hotcakes!

Located in Kent and happy to send pictures etc and will consider any sensible offer.
