The above picture show's the completed locomotive (plus Steve the Engineman) in all her glory. I was worried a bit at the start that the boiler was a bit low but have seen locomotives in picture's with boilers in this low position! As 'Jenny' is a few years old now and quite 'loose', the steam time is a regular 35-40 minutes. Just right... (when the gas run's out) to then go and have a cup of tea..... (20/09/2011)

This set of pictures of 'JENNY' show the various bits of added-on parts to make the locomotive distinct. The fire-irons shown below are supposed to be 16mm scale but look miles better in 7/8" scale, also note the multi-slot coupler plus link pin. The picture of 'Jenny' in the un-dignified up-side-down shot (above middle-left) shows the snug spot where the Regner whistle nestles under the 'water-tank'. The above middle right picture shows one of the Rosko lubricators along with the oil container for it plus the new sand box and its operating lever....imagination! The picture above shows the glazed port-hole windows plus the proper 7/8" scale whistle and part of the sandbox fitted to the boiler top. Why pay 'through the nose' for a ready made locomotive when you can 'bash' up one of your own??!
