5 inch gauge Polly "Prairie"

A new 5 inch gauge Polly "Prairie", a kit-build engine at an advanced stage of assembly.

One of largest locomotives in their range, the Prairie shares the same practical design and robust construction as its siblings.

Work to date has been done to a good standard, the engine is complete with parts to finish, full set of assembly instructions and manufacturer's boiler paperwork.

Paintwork has, with the exception of the boiler cladding (which is a slightly different shade to the rest of hte platework), been professionally sprayed.
