5 inch gauge Sweet Pea
Owner, David Simmonite

‘Sweet Pea’ is a 5” gauge 0-4-2 Narrow Gauge Loco with Hackworth Valve Gear and a steel marine type boiler working at 90 psi.  The prototype was designed and built by Jack Buckler of Leeds.   The loco is 32 inches in length and 19 inches high from track level, with 1.5 inch diameter cylinders and a 2 inch stroke.  Shown here with junior member Mark Campling at the controls, the engine was bought from Dan Jeavons of Kidderminster in 1997 and is an interesting loco to drive.
