5 inch gauge Maxitrak "Ruby" 0-4-0T

A venerable example of Maxitrak's 5 inch narrow gauge "Ruby" 0-4-0ST.

In well-used condition, the engine runs on air - better in reverse than forwards, although with slightly uneven beats in either direction. Not unusual in this design - secured to the valve spindle by a grub screw, the slide valves are easily set (and just as easily "unset" themselves in our experience!)

The boiler has had a hydraulic test with new certification issued.

Complete with a purpose built storage crate.
