Hi,
Not totally sure , but don't get excited. Anything that he uses will have to be very narrow in the beam, light construction and probably no more that 18 - 20 inch max.
I have a Bowman Swallow, 18 inch long, 3.5 wide, that goes ok but higher pressure steam and better engine and prop.
Hope this helps

It'll have to be bigger than 15" because the ME1 is almost that long itself! The Meteor was 25" long. OK, it didn't use an ME1 but I think it was the same engine unit. At a guess, I'd say the ME1 was designed for something around 18 - 24"

That one will probably go at a sedate scale speed (<5mph).
