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

A particularly well made and nicely finished 5 inch gauge "Chub" 0-4-0T. It came to us as a part exchange against a 3 1/2 inch gauge "Columbia" from a long-term customer; unsteamed in recent years, it looks to have had very little use from new.

Overall condition - both mechanical and cosmetic - is good. The boiler has had a recent hydraulic test with new certification issued, the engine runs on air, notching up in both directions.

Work will be required to recommission for steam: one water tank has a slight drip, both clack valves leak and the hand pump - easily removeable for servicing - is currently seized.
