A 5 inch gauge "Polly II", recently arrived with us as part exchange against a kit-build Stafford.

In good condition, the previous owner reworked the cab and tanks, along with a faux Belpaire firebox cladding, to make an attractive looking variant on this popular, easy to drive locomotive.

The boiler is standard Polly - copper, silver-soldered throughout - and has had a satisfactory hydraulic test in the workshop.

The engine steams freely and runs well, although the regulator leaks past and will require re-lapping to seal effectively.
