It's been a while since I posted here, but I have been building a locomotive that I think you might be interested in. She has taken 3 years to build, and was inspired by 'Taliesin' of the Ffestiniog Railway.

Hi,

Thanks for showing those nice pics.
looking perfekt. Great job

Where is the place to see the masterpiece life?

Swanley Park, Kent - about 15 miles South East of London

Hello Peter,

I like your tinkerbell, she is amazing, but a bit of a cartoon.

I would like to know, how long, wide and high she is and what is the weight? (cm, kg ).
You have reported that you work with kids, how many ride on a propper train?

Regards
martin

She is 2.8m long, 710mm wide and 1.27m high. Weight? Probably between 750 and 900kg.

Our railway has quite steep gradients - about 1 in 100 uphill for 200m - and we run trains of one luggage car plus 4 passenger cars. Normally, about 20 people but sometimes more. But this loco will haul much more than that. . . . .
