Thanks, James.
Yeah, it's a small loco (they don't get much smaller!) It doesn't even have
a tender-- hence the "T" in the name designation for "Tank", but that made
it easier to model (I thought that that would make producing it cheaper
still). It's tough to find pics of the real thing, because everyone likes
big locos instead, but here is one I dug up:

| Admittedly, I've never noticed a locomotive like this before. The image that shows the profiles of both your LEGO model and that of the schematic is striking! The scale and call-out of all the distinctive element features is excellent. later, James (...) (22 years ago, 13-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains)
