A narrow gauge stirling single? Or a emmet based loco?

Emmet loco hero, or maybe neptune, but the wheels seems too small to suit neptune.

I've just had a look at Bessie, that could make a nice little loco!

bit of an update, the chassis is together, I soldered it together with my new 100 watt soldering iron using Carrs 243 Hi Temp soft solder. Fortunately the blobby bits of soldering won't be seen when its finished

Tomorrow I shall mill off the sides of the reverser valve which will let me mount the cylinders, and hopefully plumb them to the boiler!

Why does it only have one set of wheels...?

Looks like something out of a Tim Burton movie, Nightmare before Christmas or some such, looks great

well its had its cylinders fitted, and I've plumbed it up and made a lubricator for it. Not running at the moment, needs a bit of breaking in to loosen the cylinders up first. Its been steamed but it cannot overcome the cylinders tightness at the moment.

Brillient, looks slightly like neptune from the far tottering railway...
