5 inch gauge Polly V 2-6-0T

A 5 inch gauge "Polly V" 2-6-0, one of the larger locomotives from the Polly range.

The engine steams freely and runs well - the boiler has had hydraulic and steam tests with new certification issued. Work carried out preparatory for the test included fitting of a new blowdown valve, injector and clack valve.

Paintwork is presentable if not of exhibition quality, it carries various running-related scratches as well as some deterioration to the finish at the top of the barrel immediately behind the chimney.

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.
