It would have to be a big trailer. The steamer weighs more than the ST :think1

I have photos but I am somewhat reluctant to part with petrol money for photobucket. I could put some on the Face Book [page I guess. :wink1

Not really miniature when compared to N and HO gauge though.

Dad has a small digital HO layout and one my friends in Adelaide has one underneath her double garage. More like a dungeon but all that's just a model railroad layout under continual evolution and not a whip or other related hardware anywhere.

I was originally in "N" but I dismantled the layout so I could build the big ones in the shed. Going to build a new shed for the "N" Gauge.

Is that a 3 cylinder shay taking shape? Pinched from just down the road. The  wolgan valley?

Yep it sure is a shay but only a two truck not a three. However it will be lettered for the COC NO7
