I just spotted this. do we finally have the basis of a 4-2-2 scratch build chassis?
I would love to get some dimensions of wheels and spacings.

Going by the coupling I assume that is an OO model. I seem to recall seeing a similar model but G scale in a magazine along with a statement that a conversion kit was available to make it into a representation of a Stirling single. It does resemble one, but as it stands the cab and tender seem disproportionately tall and the splasher is completely wrong. We can but hope for the same thing to become available in N.

there you go push it with a Tender Drive
They are on Pre-order in N
I can see a Midland 4-2-2 on the horizon!
Emily is your N gauge friend! It's illustrated with the OO gauge version
