It's the biggest tank loco, the largest is the tender loco which I beleive you have an example of?

It only just fits in the box.

It certainly doesn't move in the box!
I have had it running on compressed air today, just need to make a replica of the burner tube and wick holders to fit the tank. Odilon is giving me the dimensions to work from

Jim, you spawny dog. 
I went to a boot sale this morning and all I saw were old tellys and kids clothes,
Spent and hour and a half browsing round and never saw a single interesting item of any sort.
Good on you mate. Well spotted.

The tubes are 1/4 diameter and 1 1/8 long

I would be chomping at the bits trying to make a burner up. Being repainted, there is mo excuse not to run it.

Thanks Sandy, I am blessed here with lots of good bootsales. I usualy haul a couple of engines a year in from them and lots of oil cans and Meccano etc. I see quite a few hundred quid TE1's and unique SE1's though
