We sold this one last year to a well known commercial builder of highly-regarded battery-electric locomotives and rolling stock. It's had little use since last here, it's just come back looking, if anything, even more polished!

Pictures opposite and words below are from October of last year.

A 5 inch gauge Polly V 2-6-0, in good condition throughout and attractively finished in lined Midland red.

Steamed on the rolling road, the engine proved free-steaming and particularly quiet running, with well-defined exhaust beats - there's some video of it here.

As with all Pollys, it's a well-thought out and robustly built engine, with a well-deserved reputation for reliability. It's larger size makes for a very capable club engine, ideal for the first-time owner.

Complete with purpose-built wooden transport crate.
