Ex Ballymena and Larne Beyer Peacock

TBH this is pretty much the same sort of clip as posted before - except that the loco is now in the earlier Belfast and Northern Counties/Midland livery of very dark ('invisible') green.
This meths fired model was built in 1994 by David Bailey and represents BNCR no 105 ex Ballymena and Larne Rly - Count Antrim - built by Beyer Peacock in 1878 and based on the type supplied to the IOM.
Last year it developed a leak in the front plate, so had to be dismantled and the boiler repaired by my friend John Campbell - hence my repaint job. It still runs OK, if a little 'clankier'.
The stock is all of ex BNCR 3ft gauge prototypes from County Antrim as would have run with this loco. I'm pretty sure the mix of crimson lake coaches and green loco is accurate!
