Seeing Elis Clarks O gauge Wickham Trolley I had to have one.

This is my smallest locomotive yet and is static. A petrol driven engineering personnel carrier. Scale is a little off being 1 stud too high and 2 or 3 studs too long. 

Minfig hands came in useful for both head/tail lights (highly illegal technique) and instrument panel. Almost pure build except for stickers and cotton for tarp.

It may be small, but it packs a punch! All those details at such a small scale are stunning.

How did you manage to make those curved handrails?

I have a small tube bender (like a spring) and heat the tube. Although brass rod inside the rigid tube works even better.

@JopieK @Asper @zephyr1934 @Ferro-Friki Thanks for your kind words. I will be posting a small steam loco shortly.

Flipping heck!! That's a visual feast.

I've looked at Wickhams before and wondered about building one, but they've always seemed too tiny to do any justice to them. I think your approach of bending the scale to fit works very well indeed. Kudos to you, sir.
