As Rolling Stock Superintendant I could over-rule marcus and have it out, but it was me who said it shouldn't run!
The only useful bits on it are the wheels and the Petter AA1, and i have several of both already!

you simply cannot beat a good Petter engine. My Grandads boat has a Petter AV2 and its 50 years old but never needed an overhaul. Could do with a coat of paint though ;)

Additional snippet of info - the bodywork on Midget at Knebworth is from Meteor 3 (the front) and Meteor 7 (the rear).

If anyone has any photos of Derek, aka Thunderbolt 2, could they drop them to me off forum? - Thanks in advance.
