5 inch gauge "Sweet Pea" 0-4-0T with tender - stock code 12346

A 5 inch narrow gauge "Sweet Pea" with tender; completed in 2024, it has been built and painted to a high standard.

The boiler had had hydraulic and steam tests, with new certification issued. The engine steams freely and runs well, slightly better in forwards than reverse.

In excellent condition throughout, 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.
