5 inch gauge GWR 55XX 2-6-2T

A 5 inch gauge GWR 55XX Prairie tank, a commercially built engine by Silvercrest Models.

This one has come to us from a long-time customer, along with a 7 1/4 inch gauge 14XX by the same manufacturer.

The engine was run at his club infrequently - he claims it went very well and "goes like a rocket" - with apparently only a few steamings from new. The boiler has had a hydraulic test with new certification issued, the chassis rolls freely and runs on air.
