Hi guys, sorry this locomotive was sold last year some time.

Thank you for all the interest shown, I did not realise how many locomotive enthusiasts were around.

Cheers all!

Hi Ady, thanks for that

I did post the link where the photos are stored, seems as it did not pull through the first time. Here is the link again below - hope it works.

Apologies - forgot to mention the owner's name .

His name is Don le Roux.

The locomotive is currently in Durban, South Africa.

He worked on this train for 5-7 years if not mistaken, but will confirm. I will also try and get an idea as to how thick the material is as well.

Thanks all!

Hi Everyone, my name is Paul and I am from Johannesburg, South Africa. I hope I have posted this in the correct forum.

A family member was a fanatic with his steam trains. It took him 7 years to build his first miniature steam train, which ran successfully at the Florida and Centurion tracks, in South Africa.

He then started building a magnificent 15F steam train, and unfortunately passed away 3 years ago. He left this incredible project behind with us.

It is 95% completed, and everything (I mean EVERYTHING) - every single bolt, rivet, wheel etc., was hand made by him.

I would just like to know where the best place would be to sell such a work of art.

Any information would be really appreciated, and only serious buyers please - thank you.

My contact details are as follows (Hope I am allowed to post this info post on the forum):

Here is a link to the album where I have uploaded a few low resolution pics of his amazing handy work - more pics available on request.
