I found more pics of "Funk&Faerie No.1"... if anybody wants to put a new motor in this little bugger and continue the project, I'd be glad to send you not only this engine, but a bunch of couplers and two and three bogey trucks I had to build rolling stock upon. I'm pretty well determined to re-start the project as a garden railway.

How small is it?
