5" gauge locomotive running at our club in Sydney, Believed to be copied from an engine used in a very early Pennsylvania logging company.

A nice piece of work. Very unusual. The owner should be proud.

Interesting. That looks very similar to the Clishay design by Robert Maynard, although that was for 7 1/2" gauge IIRC.
Nice looking engine! It l'd say it was to, or at least based on, the CliShay design too.
Excellent, I'm all for something different now and again.
Using Jeff's reference to the CliShay design, I did a quick Google search and found these Youtube videos:

And something very different with a beam engine: **LINK**

Well that's a new one on me! never seen a twin beam engine CliShay variant. Runs well and with that big boiler should make good power. Thanks Paul for the video link!
A fantastic model. But for me, a retired carpenter, the woodwork makes it look "real".
