Paul, I doubt that too many of us can take credit for building such a nice, working tram...that is a wonderful piece and moves right along towing it's load.

thanks for sharing,

Rog

Here's a photo of the other side. The boiler is fitted with a goodall valve that is fitted with a luer connector that accepts
medical syringes to refill the boiler.

Paul what a fantastic build!

Have you ever shown photos of your workshop? (Hint hint :) )



Thanks Jim. Unfortunately my workshop has been neglected for four years and is in a terrible state. I'll only post
A video when I finally clean it up. That might be soon as I am dying to get back to work.

Very neat work. What gauge?



The wheels are held in place by grub screws and  I can run it o gauge or 45 mm. .

I made this little loco back in 2014 . I made everything except the wheels and the two Mamod loco cylinders.
It's butane fired, has a single flue with 3 cross tubes.
