Ver-ry interesting. Did you notice the outside Stephenson valve gear? (2 cams where the eccentric crank would usually be on the main crankpin.)[^]

The associated links were interesting, too - even if not rail-related[:O] (Kiguchi-san is cute - but too young for my son and too old for my great-grandsons.)

Hope you have good anti-malware software if you clicked on the Kiguchi video

Thanks Harold - there is so much 30" modelling its great to see some of the real thing still going. What a great sound that loco had. Cheers.

The locomotive is a Finnish version of a Brooks Catalog locomotive:

It is comparable to the On30 BLI C-16. When that model came out I was informed it was a “toy” by the “knowledgeable”. Nice to know that there is “almost” a prototype for the BLI loco.

The On30 BLI C-16 with a Bachmann On30 tender shell on the BLI tender frame.
