I've never seen an engine quite like that, fascinating little machine. Beautiful work as always, Tony.

Hi Aaron,
I've never seen an engine quite like that, fascinating little machine.
Ransomes and Rapier made a few locomotives both steam and later diesel, a lot of the steam ones being a little different. They also made a lot of heavy plant including self propelled steam cranes, their locomotive for an Indian coal mine seems to be basically a self propelled crane without the crane. The mine also had another locomotive from another crane manufacturer which was very similar. Their gauge was 18" so the model should be 7/8ths scale but would be too large for my railway so it is being built to 16 mm.
Take care Tony.
