This is a powerful reliable locomotive of exhibition standards; suitable as far as outside appearance is required; a somewhat rare case of a fine looking engine that works really well.
It is a complicated engine to build. Recommended for advanced Model Engineers only. The drawings are basic in common with many older model locomotive plans and rely heavily on the experience of the builder.
