A 7 1/4 inch narrow gauge "Sweet William" 0-4-0ST, the scaled up version of "Sweet Pea". It's come to us direct from the builder - just over three years old it is in good mechanical condition, steams freely and runs very well.

The steel boiler was supplied by John Rex Model Engineers in 2017, the locomotive having its first steam test in April of that year.

Complete with a steel bodied braked tender carrying a water tank - it provides a comfortable driving position, with upholstered seat and capacious foot tray.

There's some video of it running in our yard here.
