5 inch gauge 'Sweet Pea' 0-4-0T with tender

A 5 inch gauge 0-4-0T locomotive, built as a side tank variant of the popular "Sweet Pea" design.

This one has come to use from an experienced builder with several other locomotives to his credit - he is also a prolific builder of rolling stock and scale model bridges.

Unused for some years, we've given the boiler a twice working pressure hydraulic test and would warranty as sound; the chassis runs on air in both directions.

Some nice details on this one - there's a dummy steam pump mounted on the front running board, a tool locker in front of the cab containing a bucket, the cab roof has a furled sheet for running backwards in wet weather.

Complete with four wheel tender.
