5 inch gauge "Dixie" by Maxitrak, based on the Kerr Stuart "Wren". Pretty much the ideal beginner's locomotive, free-steaming, small and light enough to transport easily and with spares readily available from the manufacturer. Being modelled on a narrow gauge prototype, it is large-sized for a small engine so as to speak - cab access is easy and the controls are big enough to be easily handled.

Silver soldered copper boiler, feed by crosshead pump with auxiliary hand pump in saddle tank. Gunmetal cylinders, slide valves actuated by Hackworth gear with pole reverser in cab, displacement lubricator.

The engine is in good mechanical order and goes well.

Length 26 inches
Height 18 inches
