5 inch gauge "Polly VI" 2-6-0

A 5 inch gauge Polly VI, an engine we last sold in 2022 - there are pictures and video of it running in the archive here.

Since then it appears to have had little use - it remains in substantially the same condition as last time it was here, except for a stalled attempt to rub down and repaint the tender which now requires a new top coat of GWR green.
