But don't ask me who it belongs to, not telling, he's shy.

A really nice locomotive . I can understand not wanting to revel his secret identity. The " Borrowers " might be tempted if they knew who it belonged to.

Is it live steam?

 

[New Haven Neil]

Yes James, it's a meths burner. I understand it was an Aster pilot model that didn't go into production.

which makes it....rare? :applause:

It won't ever be on e-bay that's for sure.

I guess it doesn't do R1s then?

Fantastic piece of kit....

 

[Midwalesstokie]

Wow, the real one had six cylinders didn't it - does this?

 

[New Haven Neil]

I don't think it has the full compliment of cylinders, James.

Hi Chris, good to see you here - please don't think it's mine !!! It was brought for a look-see by someone who had been doing a repair on it for the owner. Both island residents, and that's as far as I'm going!

It is a beaut though - almost enough to make me go G1!!!!!! It won't do R3 never mind R1......it's on an R5 curve in the photo!!

you would need a fork lift to put it on the tracks.

I would post it back to you, but while our posties here aren't on strike, the UK lot are, so it would never get there. So I'll just keep it for now........

Unfortunately, it's sourjourn on the L&L was about an hour......
