It's a Wrightscale Wren - one of the smallest steam locos available.

It is wee. I love the little spindly rods. What a nice engine. Is there a chance of seeing a video of it running?

Scene from the CVLR two and a half years ago (yikes, is it really?) with mine at the front. (Mine is the newer version from Wrightscale.) I generally put in 60ml of water when steaming it... Yes, it's tiny.

One of our members has a Wren, it really is a VERY tiny engine.
We once compared (quite hilariously) his Wren with my NGG16, the Wren is shorter than the front tank! :D
