A 5 inch gauge "Marie E", the work of a model engineer with an interest in Don Young's smaller locomotive designs for this gauge - we have his "Rail Motor" as well.

An older engine that has seen a good deal of club running, complete with a convertible raised/ground level braked bogie driving truck, incorporating a water tank and hand pump.

Paintwork is something of an acquired taste - it looks to have been done with three different pots of polyurethane and a lolly stick. Given the "running restoration" nature of the locomotive, a repaint probably needs to go on the job list.

The engine turns over freely, runs on air and boiler is warrantied sound - it's had a hydraulic test in recent weeks with certificate issued for same.
