A 5 inch narrow gauge "Sapphire", Maxitrak's take on an industrial 0-4-0ST.

The boiler has had a hydraulic test with new certification issued - it's warrantied as sound. The chassis runs on air, with wear evident in the motionwork and valve gear - a simple design, it would be an easy job to rebush over a winter.

We particularly like the livery of this one - entirely plausible for a narrow gauge contractor's locomotive, it looks very well.
