Hi

Well not strictly a Chrismas pressent, I have had it a while now, but it had to stay a secret from someone for a short while, not it is public! It is about 200kg, so too big for our Chimney! Smile

Needs a bit of work as few bits have been lost etc, over the years it has been dismantled.

Cheers

Dave

Looks great and sounds big enough for passenger carrying duties. Very exciting. Very nice.

Difficult to tell from the photos. What scale is it?

Cheers, 3" to every foot, so 1/4 size

To put scale to it, it measures 6 foot from the smokebox door to the back of the rear bed.

Nice one Buzzy. Can you put a photo with you standing next to it so we can see the size of it and don't forget to smile. Wink

Hi

Hmmm, not sure about me in the pic! I don't like pics, it is 6 foot long and 3 foot to the top of the chimney.

I will try to find a pic with something for scale, having mine out on the trailer I have made for it, on Monday, will see about a pic or two.

This might help, this is a simmilar one, not mine, but the same design

Buzzy, I think you've trumped all other big boy's toys with this one.
