5 inch gauge Polly V 2-6-0T - stock code 12024

A 5 inch gauge Polly V. 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 boiler has had hydraulic and steam tests with new certification issued - a new fusible plug was fitted at this time. On test the engine steamed freely and ran well, as expected from this well-proven design.

Offered with 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.
