This maybe stretching the rules a bit far as this locos gauge is On30 like narrow gauge O gauge. It is O gauge but runs on OO gauge track.

In real life this loco didn't survive and there were only two steam rail motors of this type. No.1 was mounted on a plinth for many years and is now having a new boiler made for her. She is on the Pichi Richi Railway in South Australia which has a gauge of 3'6".

In Yorkshire speak she really is a "little ditty"

The purchase of that model Griff gave some money to the real steam rail motor which is undergoing a major overhaul. So it's a worthy cause. It's like when I bought the Bachmann model of 75069. A percentage of the price went to help pay for the cost of overhauling the real loco.
