5 inch gauge Polly II 0-4-0

A Polly II 0-4-0, the tender engine version of the original Polly I tank locomotive. We've sold many of these over the years and would be hard-pressed to think of a better engine for a beginner in this gauge - free-steaming, reliable and with spare parts available off the shelf from Polly.

This one is a particularly well-built and nicely painted example, a one-owner engine which has come to us direct from the builder. Maintained to a high standard it remains in excellent condition throughout.

Since arriving with us the commercially-built, CE-marked boiler has had hydraulic and steam tests with new certification issued. The engine runs particularly well, keeping itself in steam and water on the rolling road without need of the blower, the bypass being used "little and often" to top up the boiler.

Supplied with firing irons, a starter kit of coal and steam oil and 12 months warranty. If required, we would be pleased to include a half day's training in the firing, driving and maintenance of the engine.
