MY MODELS - cont.

5 - Atlantic - Jersey lily - 4 - 4 - 0 Tender engine in 5" G

This is my first scale model locomotive , an English locomotive , I was now on learning curve but still had my own ideas , made a few modifications to simplify the building , painted the engine my own choice of colour

( blue ) , put my name on it . With this engine I started running on ground level , it gave me a lot of pleasure , with this one running the Conway went to storage . After few years of operation ,other engines were built as you will see in the next few pages I decided to sell the engine to a fellow member in our club , who still owns the engine to this day . See attachments and an old short video of low quality .

This is an English free lance model designed in 5" G & 7.25" G , wheel arrangement 0 - 4 - 0 tank or tender version , my engine is 7.25" G tender version . These are powerful engines for their size , I wanted to try 7.25" G but small size and simple , I used this engine for a while but after my collection started getting big I decided to sell this one few years ago , see attachments .

At the time I was subscribing in Live Steam and building series for this were running at the time , no special castings were required I decide to build it . The boiler is of T type with round fire box , a challenge to me but that is what a hobby is about . this engine also ended up being sold but after a while the buyer sold the engine to one of our club members , so it is back in our club .
