The Porter loco is a Bachmann Spectrum saddle tank have had it several years but had ago at weathering it last year my first and only weathered loco .
The Generator came on the flat car with the bulldozer . It is made by USA Trains you can pick them up new for around a tenner but you might find some second hand .
I was lucky and picked up a flat car with 3 for £12 few years back on e bay

Cheers for the you tube link Don the steam sound sounds very good for the loco . How easy was it to fit the Mylocosound in the Porter was looking at a Mr Rails which i put in my snow plow but the board is to large to fit in the saddle tank .

That loco looks just right for your mine Stevensteven large said:hi agian
Have just measured the Generator for you 10cm long by 6.5cm high by 5cm wide hope this can help .
Hi Don will check out the Mylocosound web site to check the size of the board .
Have just ordered a Mr Rails diesel sound unit to use with the generator
