Hi Keith, that looks cracking. And that's a great website for SAR stuff!

Will look forward to your next engine.

The frames, spacers, coupling & connecting rods are home made. The cylinders & valve gear apart from the eccentric rods are Roundhouse.
The driving wheels are by Essel Engineering on Roundhouse axles flycranks & bearings.
The front bogie & rear pony truck are homemade & the wheels where out of the bits box.

Cheers

Looks like a really big engine!

It's interesting, SAR consider it as a TINY engine!

They look a bit Calthrop-ish to me. Plenty of axles to spread the weight, and a fairly hefty punch in terms of tractive effort I would imagine.

Here is a "VERY" short video taken of the NG4's first running in turn.

Needs wicking down a little, far to much steam being produced.

It's been quite a while I know. Keith saw the update on Facebook, but I couldn't see this and not post a pic of my scratch built ones, so let's see if this works:
