The boiler has had hydraulic and steam tests; the engine is offered with full certification, 12 months warranty, set of firing irons and a starter kit of coal and oil.
We would be more than happy to give half a day's instruction on the steaming, running and disposal of the engine to a new owner if required.
A new Polly "Suzanne", their attractive take on a six-coupled Orenstein & Koppel, based on the well-proven Polly boiler and running gear.
Assembled from a set of kits by an experienced builder (he's now built four Pollys in total, including the "Trojan" currently in stock), the black bodywork was professionally painted and the engine test steamed to check valve setting - it is otherwise new and unused.
