5 inch gauge Polly V 2-6-0T - stock code 11225

A 5 inch gauge "Polly V", assembled from a kit in 2017.

In good condition, the locomotive was serviced on arrival with us - the fusible plug and pressure gauge syphon were replaced, the commercially-built, CE-marked boiler has had hydraulic and steam tests with new certification issued.

The engine is free-steaming and ran particularly well on the rolling road.

Supplied with firing irons, a starter kit of coal and steam oil and 12 months warranty. If required, we would be pleased to include a half day's training in the firing, driving and maintenance of the engine.
