nice little beauty there ken! can you give us any info on the real thing? never seen any loco with the coal bunker stored in front of the cab...very different indeed!
Well, thanks to all for the warm welcome. The CVR had six of these 0-4-2Ts, bought from Sharp Stewart loco builders. A seventh similar looking beast, 0-4-4T this time, from Hudswell Clarke, with a more traditional bunker came later. The CVR had some wonderful Railmotors as well, well worth modelling. If you are really interested, get a copy of; The Irish Narrow Gauge, Volume Two, by Tom Ferris. Lots of info on the lines in the North.

Just been reading through the threads, came across the "15mm Tralee & Dingle loco". No need to pay £2500 for one, build your own! This Hunslett I built from plywood & cardboard, bits of scrap brass, toothpaste tube for strapping. The chassis is made up from a couple of household radiator brackets. Never chuck anything that looks useful away.
Tis no great thing of beauty, but mine own. (William Shakespear said this, when the pi-- was taken out of His scratch-building). Regards Ken
