5 inch gauge Polly II - stock code 8756

A 5 inch gauge Polly II, it runs well and has a sound boiler with recent hydraulic and steam test with certification for same.

Paintwork is tired, with some rather dubious yellow accenting on various bolt heads and the wheel centres. We'd be tempted to run it for the rest of the season then strip and repaint over winter.
