I've had several Pollys, they go particularly well, an easy engine  both to look after and drive.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThis engine was bought by a retired gentleman in my club. It has  been meticulously looked after, spending much of its time in his living room on  a piece of display track he built for it. When travelling to the track it has a  purpose-built carrying stand, which clamps the locomotive securely for carrying  in a car.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eIt is in as-new condition mechanically and runs particularly  well, there are several useful additions, including a derailing bar and quick  change coupling for the hand pump connection to the tender. The paintwork and  lining was well executed and is in good condition, with one or two minor  scratches.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eSilver soldered superheated copper boiler, feed by axle pump and  injector with auxiliary hand pump in side tank.
