Taken an old Mickey Mouse battery loco as you can see from the tender and in the process of painting, but the second picture should give it away!

Excellent, superb, wonderful.
Can you get it up to 88 miles an hour?

Great series of films and a ZZ top soundtrack for number three. I shall be digging out my DVD of it tonight.
If at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer!

Loco all painted, ‘tyre buffers’ added. Needs a bit of weathering and detailing next.

Will you have flames shooting out of the chimney and steam hiss from the rivets? Incidentally, steam nor smoke could issue from the smoke box rivets since it is not under pressure.
