Very nice... Any chance you could edit your post and put some titles in so I know where they were? Suspect

That engine Dave, a 2 6 2 tank locomotive looks very simular to the Hornby wind up model produced in their thousands early 1900's to 1960's although that one only had 4 wheels probably for practicle purposes.

Just thought you may like to know that. As luck would have it, last night I was surfing on Uube and came across several windup lay outs being demonstrated. The engine only did a couple of cicuits before running out of spring load. The American engine of course went much further with bigger springs.

As Michael Cane would say, 'not many people know that'.
