A well-built 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.

The work of an experienced engineer with several good locomotives to his credit - unsteamed in recent years it remains in good order, although will require minor work to recommission, including attention to a leaking injector clack.

The boiler has had recent hydraulic test with new certification issued, the chassis runs well on air.

Complete with drawings, photographs, exhibition certificate, rolling road and purpose built storage box.
