Vic, the picture's a little fuzzy on the details but looking at the drive wheels I'm thinking it wouldn't quite make your R1 curves[(-D]

It looks like it might be an 0-20-6 configuration. It has to be a live steamer. Estimated weight 500 lbs in G-scale. Cost? If you have to ask, you obviously can't afford it.

Y'all missed the scale issue.
Look at the figure standing in the foreground.
If the engine has a proportional scale to track, it's probably a 20 foot gauge or better, in 1:22.5 that works out to over 10-1/2" between rails.

Hi alI
I don't think I realy want to go anywhere near that unless it is in the company
of the 1st Tanith and the Space Wolfs. to purge it with flame and sword in the name of the Emperor looks like something tainted by Chaos to me[:D]
Make on very large model if you have the patience for it[8D]
regards John
