I have a feeling its the mss saddle tank

I have to agree with Graham, and if so you are going to be somewhat disappointed, unless you happen to be very lucky and get one that actually works straight out of the box.

But even then it will not last long as it appears MSS are suffering the same problem as the old Mamods with wheels falling off!

By the way could you tell me what a roundhouse berie or a rounghouse millie are? Are these new Chinese fake imports?

I am not going to say what the engine I have bought is but I will name 1 engine that it isnt.

reason: you cant really at any of the moderfications to it.

Is it a 10 1/4" Bulleid pacific ?

That was just a random guess though! I voted for the Roundhouse Millie.

Anyone of those Locos would be a worthy addition to your Railway though.

I imagine:

You can’t really add any of the modifications to it


The saddletank mms loco doesn't have a whistle so you are unable to easily add the upgrade regulator to the loco.
