"OK, I've found the cab and the wheels, now where's the boiler?" This might be what the guy looking into the cab of this tram engine may be thinking. Built in Belgium by Cockerill, this little vertical boilered loco is a survivor of the steam tram. Sadly most UK tram engines went for scrap, especially the lamented Great Eastern locos with their wooden shed like bodies. If you aren't UK based and have access to 'Thomas the Tank Engine' books, Toby the tram engine gives you a good idea of the UK version. Without the face, of course.
