Are you aware that it's clockwork, not steam?

Nice little engine, O Gauge clockwork. Looks to be Bing, it is only a small engine with an even smaller length of run. Chances of getting a tender for it are very slim. Nice looking finish, do you know if it runs ?

im not sure paul, i went to the auction today but didnt stick around long enough to see it go. I picked up a few railway/model steam boooks and magazines. Also i picked up some VERY interesting plans 'Reed's Extras Engineer's Guide' "Plates" includes some boiler, automatic intake valves, high pressure pistons etc, i love it!
