This is a 5″ gauge steam engine with coal/water tender which I used frequently at garden parties/fetes for Round Table/ Ladies Circle & similar  events in the 50s & early 60s, (it still displays RT emblem)  it could pull 15 or so children on my elevated track. I’ve not fired it up since that time,  it’s been kept in my workshop since, but I would suggest a good over-haul. . This loco has a hand pump for the water feed (not steam injectors), Outside cylinder & valve gear (Walschaerts type), with mechanical oil pump to the motion,  it was a most reliable engine, no doubt still is. The tender has 4 independently sprung wheels & a set of tender tools (coal hammer/shovel/lance)   

 

 Collection from WD6 3RA, that’s Elstree, Herts.
