    No leading pony truck on the Bachmann model - IIRC, they were added to Linda and Blanche very soon after their arrival on the FR.

    The addition of the pony truck, and the tender, turned them into very elegant locomotives IMHO. As built, their short wheelbase makes them look a bit clumsy (poor Charles - will he ever escape captivity?), but YMMV.

    Not sure there has ever been a more proportionate narrow gauge locomotive than Talyllyn No3

    Hmm. It looked a little odd without trailing wheels when new - with such a short wheelbase, it's no wonder they soon added them.

    Nice-looking little engines, though.

    And of course the Corris has built a lovely new one.

    So they have - and, naturally, it goes very nicely with their replica Kerr Stuart!

    Upon which I have ridden.
