Recently, i have come across some interesting pictures of what appears to be a Narrow Gauge Crane Locomotive, i model quite abit of 009 stuff, and figured i could make this NG crane engine into a Standard Gauge locomotive. The design of this engine is not like our other British Built locomotives, this engine appears to be based on an American design, which is good as there appears to be a sever lack of Sodor engines from other regions, and although a debate has already started about Hank and Hiro being too large for our UK loading gauge on other 'Forums', i personally don't see any real issue with locomotives from other regions of the world running on a fictional railway.
So, this project is to commence later in the week and will be made once again, using my most favourite of all materials, plasticard and an 8F Hornby chassis.
