An old model with new wheels and conrods. Nice slow running rally shows off the motion. Despit only 1 stud holding each cylinder it very solid model.

@Kivi Thanks. Link to video of it in action with old wheels and before the 3rd wagon was finished (motor is in first wagon. 9v battery/Pf reciever in the other).

Fantastic small shunter. Interesting steam flask design. The stickers are great on this one.

It is amazing how much company pride went into these little shunters. All that pinstriping is crazy, and the red jacket. In the US it would have been painted black and relegated to the shadows. Great little build and cleaver use of the party hat.

Cute as a button!

@Feuer Zug @ivanlan9 Thanks. Cylinder technic not mine (can't remmember where I saw it). But I always wanted to try it. Usually tread is wrapped around a gear. Mine is a round plate making cylinder diameter larger. 

@zephyr1934 Cheers. Party hat was the seed piece for this build. My son won a small Disney Princess Pack at a Brick Show with this in it. Certainly built with pride but black certainly covers up muck when they are in use. Gordon Edgar has a nice colour photo of original in remarkably clean condition for an industrial shunter. Paste link(rights reserved so haven't embeded). Even survived (but hidden after museum got knocked down). No1 was scrapped in 2018.

Wow, this little steam engine is a real gem!

The stickers are impressive and the little man in pose is the icing on the cake!
