Anyone Identify This?

Looks homemade to me. Wheels might be Mamod?

 

[Paul M]

Looks "unique". But what a fun looking loco. How well does it run?

 

[Rhinochugger]

Mamod do something very similar called Brunel

 

[BakerJohn]

Ofh. That poor coupler... I'm not sure it'll pull very well

 

[dunnyrail]

Wheels certainly appear to be Mamod based. There have been companies that do Mamod replacement wheels in the past so could be some of them. As for the Boiler and Motor, I would say Wilesco.

 

[korm kormsen]

my faulty memory says, that i have seen this build together with another, similar, loco on a forum.
must be many years ago. maybe in the Gscale mad times.
or on mls.

I have no idea how it runs, as it comes up for auction this weekend at Cabin Fever. I have a Brunel and a Regner Chaloner, and we thought it might be an old Regner "Max", but not with that big flywheel. Thanks anyway.

 

[Paul M]

Buy it and find out, it looks a great little thing

 

[Ferrysteam]

It looks like a 'bitsa.'

 

[Fred2179G]

It sold for $150 yesterday, which seems like a lot for a home-brew. I told my pal I'd go up to $100.

I took it one piece at a time
and it didn't cost me a dime

 

[Dan]

Yeah, its cheaper that way. Thanks Johnny!!
