A 5 inch gauge Polly III 0-6-0 tank locomotive, it's recently come in from a long-time customer, along with a
3 inch Burrell.
In good mechanical order, the engine has been repainted in recent times. We've tested and run it in the workshop here - same as all Pollys really, steams freely, runs well. Pretty much the ideal beginner's club engine.
