5 inch gauge "Ajax" 0-4-0T

A particularly well built "Ajax" 0-4-0T, an older model built in the 1980s, although showing signs of light use and little wear. Boiler is a commercial one by Morewood, the engine steams freely and runs well.

Machining is to a high standard, fit and finish of the motionwork is good, like the use of taper pins - proper engineering! Platework is well formed and fits well, paintwork is in good condition.
