It looks odd with the big wheels, but I love it!

Might de-rail easy with the boiler up that high.

Hi,

Than every thing is ok. Because its a PITA to find a maching tender for an ancient loco when it is not there even if you have an classical gauge  1 engine. The gauge 0 ones are more common as they had been cheaper once.

Please show a photo with the bing tender !

cheers Joe

Nice, there was one similar to that on ebay that finished last night.
I placed a conservative bid on it but didn't get it.
