TINY build

[ge_rik]

Speaking of 'Tiny', her boiler eventually ended up on the Furzebrook Tramway's 2ft 8" gauge Manning Wardle 'Tertius'

Here's a Flickr photo of said loco with the original boiler and a comparison photo of it with the new boiler:

I prefer the first version - in the second incarnation, the boiler looks to be mounted unnecessarily higher. I wonder why. Something to do with steaming??
BTW, the spectacles in TERTIUS looks to be even higher than TINY's

Tiny being 3ft 9" and inside frame had a wider firebox that couldn't fit, so it had to sit on top of Tertius' frames. The height is an illusion, probably was ok based on this photo of an enthusiast finding it in the 60s as a young lad

Excellent result! I've also thought 'Tiny' to be an oddly proportioned little loco, but in the best possibly way!

Your own design motor drive train works really well. A great Lil loco!
Tiny sure is tiny compared to the cattle wagons.

I had closed captions on while watching and I love the way the cuffing is captioned as 'laughter' and the whistle as 'screaming'.

Nice commentary Rik, for a minute there thought I might have seen some more of the sawmill.
