25 Deg is nice a warm day,   ...    here.


I love that engine tho'   ...   to me it's looks like it's got a lot of Marklin in it.
I'm not very good on Doll.
I do have the engine part from a Doll, which a German boy sent to me, and that looks a little different, to mine.

Where's MIRKO when we need him?

G'day all

Regarding the boiler. It looks very much like a Renown based on stack length, the whistle and the safety valve.

Are you sure the boiler and engine are from the same source and even the same age?

It could be a post war hybrid, the engine imported by Renown as part of the reparation stuff, to which they fitted a locally made boiler.

Regards
Ian
