I made a bagrs loco back in 2006. It was this design that re-kindled my interest in steam engines. Yours runs
Great. Thanks for sharing.

Those little steam trams are way cool!

Just for a bit of background ... BAGRS stands for the Bay Area Garden Railway Society and references an active, innovative and cooperative group of garden railroaders based in the San Francisco Bay Area, who have had significant influence throughout the hobby ranging far wider than just their local area via magazine articles, open house shows and internet activities.
