ah now I like that little blue engine. An 0-6-0 version of LBSCs Tich! Good idea that.

Yeh, it's a nice little loco, a bit under powered but still just as much fun as any engine to drive!

[matthewpeter]

I always thought a Beyer Garratt version of Tich would be a good idea ;)

[Firrboxfryup]

Yeh, would make a good loco

[cobby4321]

i think that blue engine is a simplx martan evans design

if it is iv had a drive of a simplex great locos and this one is power full load no trouble and this is a great vid

[Firrboxfryup]

Realy, well, I don't know for sure, everyone down the ESR says it's a Titch 0.6.0T, but not even the owner knows for sure

[cobby4321]

yea if you look at the con rods and connetions the same on a simplex search this they look the same

(Live steam simplex loco in steam at Rugby MES)

[Firrboxfryup]

Indeed, they are very simalar, apart from that one is 5 inch gauge! ;)
