A venerable example of a 5 inch gauge "Sweet Pea" 0-4-0ST - bought 25 years ago by the previous owner, he recalls it last being used around 12 years ago.

The engine runs somewhat asthmatically forwards, not at all in reverse. Boiler feed by hand and axle pumps - an injector was once fitted, it's long since disappeared and been replaced by a steam valve - we presume simply because it had the right fittings to block up the redundant ends of pipe!
