5 inch gauge Neilson & Co 0-4-0ST - stock code 12012

A 5 inch gauge GER 0-4-0ST, built to the David Malcolm design serialised as "Gemma" in "Engineering in Miniature" magazine - the original locomotive was built in 1974 by Neilson and Company of Glasgow.

This one has come to use along with one of the finest Great Western Manors we've seen in recent times, both the work of a highly experienced engineer - given the way that the Manor ran on test last week, we have no doubt that this one would put up a similarly spirited performance if the standard of work to date is maintained.

An attractive design, of diminutive size - it's just under two feet long when finished - there are pictures of a good one we sold back in 2022 in the archive here.
