I had considered doing one of these as my first loco but have decided to do GT3 instead. I do have a few pictures which I found on the web (cant remember the site) of a large scale working model including a photo a good side elevation drawing and a couple of drawings of various components. If you let me know an email address i'll pass these on.

Also see

For full scall dimensions and photographs

It would be great to see this engine in MSTS so good luck

Yours

Gareth

Wow!
Will there be Chaloner?

I'm going to do George Henry and Chaloner and possibly one other which will be either the Dinorwic loco Wellington or one in fully lined Penrhyn black.

How do you place people on the footplate?

Rfairlie · Post by **Rfairlie** » Tue Mar 11, 2003 7:40 pm

The driver is just a model in Train Sim Modeler using a texture that came with MSTS. Thats why it looks like the people in routes like Talyllyn.
