5 inch gauge 0-4-2T - stock code 10521

A 5 inch gauge 0-4-2T locomotive, based on Dick Simmonds' popular "Ajax" design with the addition of trailing wheels.

A well made engine, it's come to us as part of a much larger collection of fine locomotives and traction engines, which included a magnificent 7 1/4 inch gauge Standard Class 2, Manning Wardle 2-6-2T "Yeo" and 4 inch scale Burrell DCC road locomotive that we've sold recently.

The engine has had recent boiler test with new certification issued - it steams freely and runs well.
