This one got away

That loco looks really good Pete and personally I really like alcohol fired loco's, with the exhaust draft working like a real one to pull on the fire it makes running more engaging but then again gas is easy. If it's a two cylinder loco in good mechanical condition then that's another positive.
We all don't "need" another loco but a set of teaks with this at the head would be nice.
There is a mathematical equation as to how many locomotives we actually need' it is where X is always the correct number and A is the number of loco's we have now so it's A + 1 = X. Does help with your dilemma ?
 
Pete, if you like slower running trains a single cylinder loco is usually a bit 'lumpy' at low speeds, so no clanking freight trains for this one but they run well when run at express style speeds. It is still a very attractive loco to see running.:)
