James, that’s a nice toy you have there.
Yes, I agree, my MOC is too small. Ideally I’d like to use a 3 stud diameter
boiler, but that’s not going to happen soon. And I’ll have to use larger
wheels as well. The model is ~12 studs long, so in 6 wide scale it’s a bit
more like 15’ long. How large is a real Foster & Rastrick Traction engine?

Is photos of the “real” Trevor. I think she is either a 6 or 7 NHP engine,
which makes her moderate in size...not too big or too small. (I think also that
it is just Foster, not & Rastrick...). I know all about the problems of Lego
scale :)...you might have problems fitting a 56” waisted person on a real TE as
well!
