5 inch gauge Polly V 2-6-0T - stock code 10863

We sold this one back in November 2022 - a more substantial engine than the interim owner expected, it's been on display until recently when he's made the sensible decision to move into gauge 1 modelling.

The locomotive remains in excellent condition, it's again listed with 12-month warranty and half-day's instruction this time around.

A 5 inch gauge Polly V, recently arrived with us as the owner downsized his collection - we'd previously bought his magnificent 4 inch scale Burrell "Gemini I" back in 2017.

We've had several of these over the years. One of the largest locomotives in the Polly range we rate them highly - their size, weight and reliability makes them ideal for club passenger hauling.

In good condition throughout, the engine is offered with full certification, 12 months warranty, set of firing irons and a starter kit of coal and oil.

We would be more than happy to give half a day's instruction on the steaming, running and disposal of the engine to a new owner if required.

Still in production, there is further information with full specifications on Polly's website here.
