Interesting locos Ken.
I was wondering if you might know what this may have been. It is obveously on the wrong chassis.

The is is how I got it,
The walkway is brass, under that is a L/L dockside frame and cylinder (modified by previous owner).
The tender sits on an AHM MDT chassis.
T got this in a box lot and got it to run, I don't know if it was some sort of repower attempt of a brass loco or someones scratch build.
I would like to put the brass boiler and tender shell on brass chassis. I can't even find a photo of a possible prototype.

This is another OO project I came across.
The motor is marked Romford.

Ray by look of it, that's a 4-4-2 i would think London north eastern railway by wheel colour,something like this ken
not this but smaller due to the gaps between wheels
or this
