The miniature 'American-Type' No.107, as photographed in January 2013. Purchased at a discount from its normal value and pricing, this locomotive was originally old stock before being sold new to the Sumtown's miniature division as a functional replacement for No.119 of the same class. Identical except for powertrain and livery, the locomotives sit well against each other but are vastly different in terms of performance.

The side profile of the small locomotive, showing its diminuitive size yet impressive detail when compared to the standard-gauge line opposite. Despite its size the engine is fairly powerful; its only downfall is its traction tires that hinder the performance too much. With a different design the locomotive could prove to be a very strong performer; as it is it is still able to handle the stone trucks easily enough.

The tender of the locomotive, showing off its typical looks and simple yet elegant livery.

The cab and boilerwork, where simplicity yet elegance is key here.

The rear of the locomotive, showing an admittedly impressive profile even at this size. Overall a competent engine that was found for a decent price, which works well and fairly smoothly.
