My uncle made one! His is a Heisler logging engine and is very powerful! A bit smaller than that and we ride on a normal flatcar cross-legged. In emergency, the loco is too light for brakes, so you stick a foot out the side! These are fun to operate, 'specially with whistles!

Another thing, the loco is clearly a W.I.P, and appears to be a 2.4.0T machine, the windows look GWR-ish but I'm not sure. Did you find out what the machine was meant to replicate?

No I didnt, was just there to give the kids a ride. I have a video of one on youtube tho, and the lad riding that one left a comment!

They are very very cool things, they can kick up just as much smoke and steam as a full size machine in effect, and are therefore just as epic.
