3.5" gauge London, Tilbury & Southend 4-6-4T

Here is a locomotive a friend and I co-own.  We are very fortunate to have it.  We bought it in 2015 from England and have affectionaly dubbed it "Thames"  [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

What a truly beautiful loco you have there. I am amazed that it gets enough adhesion to pull such a load .... Impressive!

It will pull 3 people before it begins to have a hard time.   Sadly we have not been able to find its builder.

The track pictured is PVLS in Southwick, MA.
