5 inch gauge "Sweet Pea" 0-4-0ST - stock code 10737

A 5 inch gauge "Sweet Pea" 0-4-0ST. A well-proven design, there must be a hundred of these putting in reliable service on miniature railways up and down the country.

The boiler is a commercial job by the estimable Blackgates Engineering with original manufacturer's paperwork, we've also issued our own hydraulic and steam certificates.

Runs well in both directions, this one would be an ideal locomotive for club running for the rest of the season with scope for cosmetic improvement over winter - there's some video of it on our YouTube channel here.
