Talyllyn Railway 0-4-0 well tank loco  

Built by John Nuttall
Modelled from a microscopic photograph, it's very short wheelbase gave it a curious appearance, and one could easily imagine it bobbing along country tracks.

The model was full of detail - one novelty was the use of hundreds of washers on bent rods to fabricate pipework of authentic appearance.

Each 4" diam. Wheel was built up from curved strips and spoked with 12 short rods.

The cab was fully fitted, including fire-box door, and the valve gear was operable from the cab.

Amazingly, this was John's first attempt at a loco - let's hope it will not be his last.
