A well-built 5 inch gauge "Metre Maid", an 0-6-0 version of the ever-popular "Sweet Pea" design.

This one came to us from a man we bought a 7 1/4 inch gauge "Terrier" from many years ago. It's in good condition and runs particularly well - we like the little details like a drain valve in the saddle tank balance pipe and fitted ash chute on the footplate.

The boiler has had recent hydraulic and steam tests with new certification isued. The engine runs well in both directions, producing steam like it's going out of fashion - typical of the Sweet Pea marine boiler.

There's video of it running on our YouTube channel here.
