What an exquisite little dragon. Reminded me a lot of the early experiments with bodged up Mamids incorporating gears, new boiler and revisions much as you have done but to create very nicely an obscure bush prototype. Definitely fits in with your backwoods bush like line.I thought some here may be interested in a recently completed scratch build of a Twin Boiler Bush Loco.
The very start of the video shows a prototype.Oooh, that's different!
Was there ever a prototype for that arrangement?
Edit. Ah, just watched the video, it appears that there was indeed a prototype.
Bushy #1 is exactly as you describe... a hodge podge of parts based on a Mamid (Mamod) TE1A.What an exquisite little dragon.

Another interesting Dragon, but I am a little confused about the Piston on top of the boiler that has a wheel the other side that changes direction at random. Is this a movie thing or is something else going on?Bushy #1 is exactly as you describe... a hodge podge of parts based on a Mamid (Mamod) TE1A.
