5" gauge locomotive running at our club in Sydney, Believed to be copied from an engine used in a very early Pennsylvania logging company.

A nice piece of work. Very unusual. The owner should be proud.

Interesting. That looks very similar to the Clishay design by Robert Maynard, although that was for 7 1/2" gauge IIRC.

Nice looking engine! It l'd say it was to, or at least based on, the CliShay design too.

Using Jeff's reference to the CliShay design, I did a quick Google search and found these Youtube videos:

And something very different with a beam engine: **LINK**

Well that's a new one on me! never seen a twin beam engine CliShay variant. Runs well and with that big boiler should make good power. Thanks Paul for the video link!

A fantastic model. But for me, a retired carpenter, the woodwork makes it look "real".
