Can't really make a loco purely on 2 pictures...need some more info on her, and drawings if possible....why not have a go yourself? You never know, may be the start of something big

i tried myself..it failed, its a 16mm:1ft scale model, I have dimensions of the model but would need scaling to fit to the standard MSTS track
Overall dimensions:
Length:285mm
Width:125mm
Height:165mm
Here is another pic of the loco running

And Here is a pic of the boiler and chassis (and how it works but that part is not needed)

Is that a Roundhouse model? Looks vaugly familiar.

Nice looking enigne, we dont have many NG Saddletank's cept for the 3 Talyllyn ones really do we? It would make a nice model.

You need to bear in mind that modelling takes a long time in MSTS, and that most of the modellers are normally tied up with stuff, however you never know.

I think it's a great looking engine and as Pitley says, not enough NG saddletanks yet!

Sure if someone asked roundhouse nicely, the drawings could be got?

And the Quarry Hunslets are sort of Saddle Tanks (s'far as I remember

)

Nice model! Couldn't somebody skilled edit Talyllyn?

Cheer's,

The smokebox does look a bit like Talyllyn's. However it may be easier to build a new model from scratch. This looks a fair bit smaller than Talyllyn really.

Hmmm, mix between Talyllyn and Sir Haydan!

Cheer's,

does this engine exist in real life and not just a model?

Looks a bit 'Bagnall-ish' to me
