Because pictures on e.bay don't last forever I'm going to post them here.
The last picture interested me more than just a little because I've got the remains of a homebuilt '0' gauge live steam tank engine that comes apart in the same manner to access the boiler backhead and burner. Like the Bowman locos it's built closer to 10mm scale than 7mm scale and despite its incomplete and rough state I've hung onto it just because ...... well I like it
It's built from sheet steel and the chassis parts are quite roughly sawn out. Whoever built it constructed it so a boiler somehow fitted inside a cosmetic boiler and side tanks with a single cylinder engine inside the cab. The boiler and cylinder are long gone along with the bogie and pony wheels, but the handmade brass driving wheels are still in place.
The inside of the bodyshell is sooty and the paint shows signs of having been hot, but as to how well this old loco ran I have no idea.
Sorry I can't lay a hand to the loco and take its picture at the moment, but if there's any interest in seeing it I'll dig the old warrior out and take some photos.
