I've always liked those Fowlers, which is saying a lot because there aren't many diesels I do like.

So can you tell us more about this particular model loco Dave?

Hi

I know nothing about this loco i think it must have been on ebay at some time and i saved the picture . It may have been by essel eng as it seems to be well made.

I thought the picture maybe of some help to any one wishing to build one

I think it's a Merlin Motor Mule. I bought one from the late Tom Cooper many years ago. She had a Como motor gearbox and a socking great 12 volt Yuasa battery under the bonnet. Wasn't very quick but would pull a house down.

I like it a lot...might have to learn myself to do louvres so that I can have a go at something similar....well, louvres and outside frame cranks.

Thanks Graeme It was great to be able to see the before and after photos as well as the photos of work in progress. That's a fine loco you have there.
