Description since i messed up my HO Percys guide rails
i'll have to purchase a new one

BUT not all is lost the mistake is actually an oppertunity.

and now after a few re-labs on this one engine it's an official build!
this little novel is actually inspired by a PS1 games thomas loco for making an engine character
and it's also a test to fit over a percy chassis

there were some snags but nothing a little modification on the gear box couldn't fix!

only down side is that it's very light
with loaded open wagons it can manage two or three
but with zero tractive effort and counter weight the engine
will slip in its tracks.

but i like it.

it's not perfect but it's a start in locomotive designs for models that already exist

enjoy

I always love seeing your modelling work. Such care is put into the building process.

My only recommendation to you is finding something to smooth the body shell so it’s not so bumpy.
