That's a cool engine!  Though I'd like to know about those Trains in the background ;-)
Hi Rich, Here is some info on the Baldwin Locomotive in 3.5" gauge.

https://www.officeofsteamforum.com/general-discussion/baldwin-0-4-2-live-steam-locomotive-3-5'-gauge-by-don-favell-(including-video-of/msg46001/#msg46001

The LNER 0-6-0 is also 3.5" gauge.

Both were built by my dear friend Don Favell who passed in May 2021 at the age of 89.

I was honored to be told he and his wife wanted me to have them after he passed.

He began construction of the 0-6-0 as a school project at age 16.

In this video, 3 minutes in, there is more about Don and his model engines.
