It's come to us from an experienced model engineer - we had his GWR 0-6-0PT "Pansy" last year - who, with advancing years, has been defeated by the size and weight of a 5 inch gauge engine.
It's at an advanced stage of assembly, air-running, with parts to complete.
There is further information and a complete specification of the design on Polly's website here.
