Absolutely brilliant. First off, its amazing you where able to do something like this in 1:144 scale at all! Second, the detailing is just superb. I can see the cars are made from a sorta card paper, but to be frank, that just makes it look all the more like those old drawings of early locomotives.
fantastic work good sir. Props too you.

Wonderful!
What did you use for the locomotive wheels ?

Rocket has an old Jinty axle-set and Peco wagon wheels for the rest (ditto Sans Pareil's tender). Novelty uses Langley tender wheels and Sans Pareil's are miscellaneous spares ex-Fleishmann.
