Somewhere I have some film of it in action on the Romney Marsh Model Engineers track - if I find it I will post it on utube - if I can remember how. There is also a 10.25" gauge 'Southern Maid' in Canada or somewhere on that side of the pond - have only seen a couple of rather dark pictures of it but it is very good and very large!

Perhaps some 7 1/4" members may research this further. I seem to remember that the engine was in Australia. John
