5 inch gauge GWR 57XX 0-6-0PT

A 5 inch gauge GWR 57XX 0-6-0PT, a particularly well-built engine which has come to us as part of a collection of fine 5 inch standard gauge locomotives - several of which we supplied originally - from the family of a long time customer.

In good order throughout - free-steaming, it runs very well, keeping itself in steam and water without need of the blower on the rolling road.

The boiler has had hydraulic and steam tests with certification issued, needing nothing other than a new injector which has been fitted.

Well detailed, with bright paintwork in good condition - the workshop notes for this one concluded with "nicely made all round and well detailed - would look just as nice on the sideboard as it would on the track".
