A 5 inch narrow gauge "Sweet Pea" in 0-4-2 form, with a pannier tank in place of the standard saddle tank and complete with four wheeled tender.

The silver soldered copper boiler - superheated, unusually for this design - has had a twice working pressure hydraulic test followed by steam test, with new certification issued. Water feeds and safety valves work reliably.

On test the engine steamed freely (although we've rarely encountered a "Sweet Pea" that didn't) and ran well in forwards gear, less sure-footed in reverse.

Complete with a purpose-built carrying/lifting cradle.
