Nice, never noticed that on my 2 previous visits so I'd have thought it would be new, pitty it's the wrong guage although the real loco is quite small so it might not be too far off for 7/8ths

That's pretty cool. A bit like the Ruhr Valley one. I know someone with a saddle tank too which works well.

Ratty, now it's a "generic" loco there's nowt wrong with it being metre gauge :P

Looks like it's supposed to look a bit like the 2ft gauge loco 'Emmet'.

So it is- I hadn't noticed. That's the one that's converted from an O&K diesel?

correct. Its not a large loco by any means having seen it just after completion. In terms of scale that models probably bigger if the real one was scaled down.
