I used to build brass Gauge 1 locomotives for a living. Here are pics of two WD 2-8-0's I did. These were very detailed and had operating valve gear which could be notched up from the cab controls. They were electrically powered.

Nope. Suppose I could have been mentioned, as I built those for a well-known person. Wink

Absolutly Fabulous. I just don't know where you get the patience to do this, but I am glad you do. I love looking at models like these.
