Re: Lets start a Merlin locomotive picture thread
Here are some updated pics of Hendey, my Merlin Major. Just for the fun of it, planning to keep her unless someone offers me a Accucraft Joan for it. Mike

Re: Lets start a Merlin locomotive picture thread
I think Tom Cooper died quite sometime ago. I don't have all the details. I helped him out at the Imrex model railway show in London about 1987.
I have an old Merlin Midas but it's on poor shape mechanically.

Re: Lets start a Merlin locomotive picture thread
Time to wake up the Merlin Loco pic thread. I will try to reload all the pics I lost after the whole Photobucket mess. First pic is my new to me Merlin Maestro along with its original paperwork from the USA dealer he came from. Runs and steams as good as he looks. One picture shows him nosed up to my Merlin Mayflower(up for trade for a Beck Helena btw). Love both, but need more continental looking engines like my Maestro, better match for my LGB rolling stock.

Re: Lets start a Merlin locomotive picture thread
this is my version , bought as an 0-6-0 midas you manually push through one rotation to get it to run and the knob on the dome increases the speed and the gas tank is in the roof there is a water fill in the cab. I have unsuccessfully asked questions about similar locos that come up and they have components that are electric, you have a battery pack so could your loco be a mastero
sorry for the duplicate photo.
I also own an 0-4-0 midas which looks completely different

Rather attractive little engine that, sideways notwithstanding.

Re: Lets start a Merlin locomotive picture thread
It is a nice engine, I see it has the servo arm too. I'm amazed that these were around when I was starting with mamods at the same time.
My engine is the maestro 060 rc version
