• Is this one yours, Nick?
  
  I like the little engines; the first one I ever made was a Jenny Wren.
  
  I'd love to see it running on steam.

• Yes
  
  I believe Simone and Roly Williams also have one.
  
  I do have video of it on air.

• I believe they all have different flywheels too. Roly’s is pretty neat using a coin as the flywheel

  Thanks Charlie    I love my miniatures, they sit very nicely on the wood bases of my Jensens and don't take up any extra shelf space
