18" Locomotive in 7/8ths Live Steam.

Here is a small update with few added proto photos of the "Jack" locomotive. These great detail photos were made available by one of the lounge members on the SE Lounge. (*See link below in the references). The more photographs I find of "Jack" the more you realize how perfect in size the engine is for a 7/8ths scale 18" lcoomotive.

Descriptuon:  Jack at Armley Mills, Leeds Industrial Museum.
Some rainy day pictures of the 18" gauge locomotive "Jack" taken April 2010.
The limited space in the steam-up location meant that an extreme wide angle lens was used, so some distortion. The folding rule has folds at 200mm centres.
