Hi all,
A couple of weeks ago James contacted me and asked if I’d be interested in
working on a preliminary design of a Hogwarts engine he had made. It was
good timing since I was getting rather bored with no new projects so I
started.

Heh, why did I have this feeling when I was working on my 4 studs wide
macaroni boiler, that I had to hurry up or else I’d be beaten to it by
somebody else? ...

It was funny to see your post as I had James’ boiler design sitting in my
inbox from a couple of weeks ago. It’s also similar to an idea I considered
for my Russian L class steamer but decided against for the reason that it
would be too hard to add greebles (that train had a lot of boiler detailing).
However on the right sort of prototype such as yours or this one it is really
effective.

There is nothing new under the sun.
I just discovered the following, without looking for it. So it seems to be
destiny that I should share it:
Pony-ear-SNOTted macaroni boiler from
1966
That page also shows some micro-scale trains, one in 1-wide scale, which I guess
still today would have to be classed as avant garde...
