A 5 inch gauge "Sweet Pea", built as the 0-4-2ST variant with matching tender.

An older engine, it's cosmetically tired but steams freely and runs well in both directions. The displacement lubricator mounted at a jaunty angle behind the saddle does nothing to enhance the engine's looks - relocating it under the footplate would be a straightforward job and improve the looks immensely.

Impressed with the way this one goes - we've never met a Sweet Pea that didn't run well, however this one has the feel of a well-sorted engine that's been in regular use.
