Front axle is on a gimbal arrangment, the side diff gears are then on tubes bolted to the hubs rather than through the axle

So the story goes. I think its rubbish as there is no common parts and even the boiler is completly diffrent construction. Some records show that both engines were at one time with the same customer in nantwich though

James, you should also say that the records, record the one you built was a compound - but the photos show otherwise!.

Was it full size or 6inch as it looked to be about 9 inch to me .What a fantastic transmission system I did not even find time to ask questions just to much going on
I think I can say I have never even seen a picture of it in any book Time to get all the book out
Maybe I have the beginnings of brain-fade as 74 today !!
