I've come across it before and was going to show you the pic of that verticle cylindered thing... I rather like it. I also like that huge blue tender loco! If I had one though I'd probably need to rebuild the MHLR after a few runs!

I think it might just do it for you, especially if clearances were a little tight!!

they were built by the late Colin Binnie..an excellant chap who had the view of a good model was made by someone who had made lots of mistakes and learnt from them...the first loco has a steam dome from an old towel rail
the others are by graham stowell another excellant engineer who built a Emett nellie on a roundhouse chassis

I think it was a roundhouse chassis...anyway it stands 12" from rail to top of the chimney
