5 inch gauge Hunslet 0-4-0ST - stock code 5255

A 5 inch gauge Hunslet to Don Young’s excellent design. It hasn’t been used for the last few years, having got too heavy for its owner (who, at 86, has decided to go into 2 ½ inch gauge).

Silver soldered copper boiler, feed by injector, axle and hand pumps. Cast iron cylinders with slide valves actuated by Stephenson’s gear with pole reverser in the cab.

We had this one in steam earlier in the week, there's a clip of it running here.

Complete with wooden carrying stand
