It would be fun to see - my concerns are its pulling ability and the castings are really costly through Reeves. Nothing against Reeves, I think its due to the intricacy of the castings and at the same time it makes it more challenging to scratch build.

I have seen one of this running as a 7 1/4" model and the motion work is fun to watch

Cute in gawky sort of way.

Somewhat akin to an awkward young teenager:-)).

Hi Chris
Nice find. Reeves sells the castings to the "locomotion" which is very similar in 7.25" gauge. Always liked the look of it.
