This simple small model of a Narrow Gauge
Tank Engine started out as a 0-4-0 Shunting
Locomotive first shown the 1930 4-7 manual
and could be built with parts contained in the
No.4 Outfit of that time. The construction had
not gone far when I decided it could be made
into "European Style" narrow gauge tank
engine with a 0-6-0 wheel arrangement to
this end I rather moved away from the
original instructions. The model is built mainly
with early 1970's blue parts and 1978 dark
blue parts. When the original plans were
published there were no flexible plates in the
Meccano system as can be seen in the
illustration. The model has no functions other
than working connecting rods when the loco
is pushed along.
