I was surfing for information on the Franco-Crosti boiler system when I came across the following site:-
www.dself.dsl.pipex.com/MUSEUM/LOCOLOCO/locoloco.htm

The site is part of another containing various transport oddities. There are some extremely bizarre designs. Also many not so well known but practical oddities complete with detailed sketches (ideal for scratch builders), count me out though.

Wonderful!! A sort of "Pervert's Corner" for locomotive designers.....

What a wonderful resource for anyone struggling to model a "conventional" loco, having a hard time with the valve gear? Just look at this then! Can't roll your boiler? This one's got three!! Articulated? How many power bogies would you like?

I love it!!!

One of these days Bachmann or Hornby will get around to doing a Bulleid Leader.

It just had to be on that list and I was not dissapointed.

Happy modelling
