5 inch narrow gauge "Dixie" 0-4-0ST

A truly horrible Maxitrak "Dixie", recently arrived as a part exchange against a very nice Polly Prairie. - it's almost certainly the grottiest example we've had in that's still capable of running.

On the plus side the boiler is sound - it's had recent hydraulic and steam tests with new certification issued.

On the other side, prettty much everything that moves wants rebushing; various boiler fittings leak; the main steam pipe to the nearside cylinder leaks at the union and the paintwork's grim.

The engine runs after a fashion, there's a clip of it here.
