That's kinda cool! Is it real? Not quite as pretty as an AVRO Vulcan though!!
It just needs a nose and mouth and it's ready for "Thomas" and friends.

That's a neat engine.
Did you know the Germans made a V8 steam locomotive?

That sounds like the loco I was describing.
It had 4 two cylinder engines,one V2 mounted to each driving axle.
I have seen photos of it but I can't remember where I seen them.
