5 inch gauge Polly III

A Polly III 0-6-0T, it recently arrived in company with an Edaville #7 (just over half the gauge but about three times the weight!).

Silver soldered copper boiler with flue tube superheater, 90psi working pressure, feed by injector and axle pump with auxiliary hand pump in the nearside tank. Cast iron cylinders with slide valves actuated by Stephenson's gear, pole reverser in the cab. Mechanical lubricator.

Paintwork is in presentable condition, the engine runs well (although we've yet to meet a Polly that doesn't). One of the all-time great beginnner's engines, the six-wheeled version giving a little more traction than its smaller four wheel sibling.
