As soon as i can get a digital camera i will take some photo's, I am working on the tender at the moment will do more work on the engine soon. It is a my second engine when i get time, as my traction engine is first.

  The plans and castings are from A.J. REEVES, the locomotive is based on a Great Western self powered coach, though it might be nice to put the coach body on, time will tell.

Hi Peter
Sounds like a great project. If memory serves me correctly it is a good size engine. Please keep progress reports coming and photo's would be also very welcome.
cheers Ferd

I am building Don Young's RailMotor in 7.5in gauge, and wondering if any one else is. It is a nice size engine at total length of 55 inches(loco plus tender). Have got the frames cut out for the loco and tender, hope to put the buffer beams on soon.
