A 5 inch gauge Polly II 0-4-0 tender locomotive, an older locomotive which we last sold back in 2020.

It's recently come back to us, still in much the same condition with tired paintwork and some wear evident in the motionwork.

The boiler has had hydraulic and steam tests, with new certification issued. Hand pump and injector work well, the axle pump requires servicing.

The engine runs in its current condition, although would undoubtedly benefit from some rebushing work to the bottom end over winter.

Whilst in the workshop, stripping and repainting a Polly is not a terribly involved job - it would transform the engine.
