It is a very smooth runner - it has a twin cylinder oscillating motor under the water tank - geared down to the final drive. The outside cylinders are dummy. The boiler is gas fired with a round ceramic burner - it is as quiet as spirit fired though!
Hi - Yes it was scratch built by Peter Angus in 1998 using a Tony Sant boiler. Since then he has built two more - though the boiler and detailing are different.
Great video Chris, interesting little loco that.
And I shall mose likely see you at the ESSMEE open day.
My dad got the dates for it by a John someone I think! :-)
