Any of our Tram fans gotten themselves the new Regner live steam tram?

This is a pic from Regner's catalogue for inspiration.



You will have to squeeze this layout a bit: In reality the Paul cab is shorter. And I am not sure whether you will happy with the dial in the rear window, Aster style. With my Paul the whistle valve occupies this area.

Looking at the varying pics it appears that mounting the pressure gauge is a bit of a lottery, possibly not helped by the Instructions? On my Berta the mounting place is the right hand barrel exit looking towards the chimney, this allows the gauge to be mounted as I intimated earlier with a good long U bend to the side of the boiler. Not the ideal location as it is only visible from one side, but rear mounting with the sundry controls a tricky proposition.

One more reference from the 12"/ foot world:



They recommend that a steam gauge be installed well lower than the tapping point. Not so easy for us ...
