5 Inch Gauge Maxitrak Ruby
A rather unusual little addition to our second-hand list. This Mk 2 Ruby is a genuine barn find, purchased and stored for many years. Although on the surface it looks to be in a sorry state, under the grime is a beautiful factory finished locomotive what will be a fantastic restoration project.
Complete with tender, 'Cheddar' silver soldered boiler and slip eccentric, this little Ruby could go on to make a really lovely little locomotive for someone with the time and patience to return her to her former glory.
She has has a cursory clean and looks much better for it, not only that but she has been run on air and passed a hydraulic test. Making this the ideal winter project locomotive.
