She's much too big for my layout, needing a big radius, but she's a beauty.. The thing is, it's not listed as "live steam" but it is actually an old Aster Mogul. So it's a bit incognito and therefore could be a steal..
May be someone else has interest in her?

It's this loco:

The one who won the bid eventually had a steal! About 370 pounds for an Aster locomotive in good nick..
But it needed 3000mm radius curves

the odd thing with this locomotive was that it only has one steam cylinder, the other one is a dummy and used as oil reservoir. The big heavy steel wheels also are designed to keep momentum when rolling, but it also has the countereffect that it needs some speed to run..

Could be doing much better with a slomo, in these sort of locomotives it would make a really big difference in slowrunning capabilities. Anyway, I hope you don't mind I give these things a topic. Or is there somewhere else to put offerings worth showing?

Post as much as you like Daan, varied content is what makes this forum interesting
