5 inch gauge Polly I 0-4-0 - stock code 12401

We've sold so many Pollys over the years - with dozens listed in the archive - that it's difficult to find something new to say about this professionally painted Polly I that's just come in, other than that it's in super condition, steams freely and runs very well!

Pretty much the ideal beginner's locomotive in this gauge - easy to drive, robustly built and spare parts are readily available.

The boiler has had hydraulic and steam tests with new certification issued which would cover you through the remainder of this season and all of next.

Supplied with 12 months warranty and a starter kit of coal and oil.
