Sectioning this loco was wicked. A cardboard model could have been shown in the museum, and a real live steaming exhibit displayed outside to really educate visitors. I saved 13 of these narrow gauge locomotives and they are all working for the enjoyement of visitors around the British Isles and Canada.

Last time I went to the science centre, it was sitting in the middle of what I think is the mechanical section. A few parts were cut off to show how a steam engine worked. It was slightly raised above the ground so an electric motor could turn the wheels.
