The model is sitting on Gauge 1 track in the pic (Marklin). But we know what an "assumption" is.:)

This is the Regner Max microlok that I was on about.
That's a nice looking machine, meths fired and IMHO good value at around £220
<Rivet counting mode on> Regner appear to have modelled dummy springs on the axleboxes. I thought the De Winton type locos were unsprung due to the arrangement of the power transmission. Chaloner certainly appears unsprung in the photos. <Rivet counting mode off>



Hmmm. According to the clip on the Regner site -

'Micromax' uses Sterno-type gel fuel......

Only £220 for a nice looking live steamer? hmmmmmmm, suddenly live steam just became a but more accessible to me :)

Do most Rengers have insulated wheels?

Yes. Look for the words 'Isolierte Radsatze' in their advertisements. It is a bone of contention that in spite of a VERY high proportion of their customers being English speakers, Herr Regner has so far resisted all efforts to persuade him to produce an English version website.

The Max is only driven by one axel so I'm going to get a pair of Regner sprockets and a chain to make it two axel drive.
