5 inch gauge Polly III 0-6-0T - stock code 10206

A 5 inch gauge Polly III 0-6-0 tank locomotive, recently arrived from a gentleman downsizing his collection along with an "Edward Thomas" and GWR 15XX 0-6-0PT.

We've seen dozens of Pollys over the years and rate them highly. This one's no exception - in good mechanical order it runs well in both directions and steams freely; there’s a video of it running in the yard here.

The engine has had recent hydraulic and steam tests with certification issued for same.
