A 5 inch gauge Polly "Caroline", their attractive take on an Orenstein & Koppel based on the well-proven Polly running gear and boiler.
Silver soldered copper boiler, built 2012, 90psi working pressure, feed by injector and axle pump with auxiliary hand pump. Cast iron cylinders with slide valve actuated by Marshall valve gear, pole reverser in the cab.
The engine is in good condition, well painted and mechanically in good order. Like all Pollys it steams freely and runs well - as a beginner's 5 inch gauge engine they're pretty much bullet proof, we've sold dozens of them over the years.
