5 inch gauge Hunslet "Alice" 0-4-0ST - stock code 8636

A commercially-produced 5 inch gauge Quarry Hunslet 0-4-0ST by Maxitrak.

A one-owner engine, it's come to us from a long-time customer in the West Country. It has had light use on his garden railway and remains in excellent condition, complete with original shipping crate.

The manufacturer quotes a minimum eight foot radius for this engine, which opens up the prospect of a railway in the smallest of gardens (or even a reasonably sized living room...)
