The steam engines are all great, and the power from even small steam engines is much greater than equally sized diesel engines. Colin.

How strong are these little engines

[@neilbottle6662]

There are a lot of variables, this one can pull around 3-4 people as it’s fairly small but our City of Truro in the same scale can pull 10+ quite easily with the ride on trucks, it can still pull more.

How strong are they? The little engine in this video answers it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnzQfXxjqN-Jick

Looks so much better on the larger gauge. Is it a straight 2x larger build?

[@neilbottle6662]

Chris C No it’s built by drawings from Charles Kennion but the cab was added as an extra by my dad when he built it as an apprentice.

[@adirondackcarfoundry368]

@@neilbottle6662 Neil, would you still have any drawings of the cab as it was built by your father? I am more and more keen to have this same look every time I watch the video. Cheers.

[@neilbottle6662]

Chris C it’s certainly different! I much prefer it compared to the open cab. He’s away at the moment but I’ll ask him when he gets back. If not I’m sure I could take some pictures and e-mail them to you.

[@neilbottle6662]

My dad didn’t draw up any plans for the cab, he just kind of made it up as he went along. It’s a fairly simple design really.

[@adirondackcarfoundry368]

@@neilbottle6662 Perhaps a few flat-on photos with a ruler included for scale? I don'tmean to be a bother.
