Fowler's Ghost

Today's entry features an unconventional locomotive, something you probably wouldn't have in mind when asked about the Broad Gauge.

That would be Fowler's Ghost! A Fireless 2-4-0 Outside Cylinder Locomotive to be put to service in the Metropolitan Railway, when it was still operating Broad Gauge.

I have built it like a 'conventional' steam locomotive, using coal instead of fire bricks as its main fuel. I've also made it feature a quite odd livery for a GWR locomotive, which I'm very fond of.

 

Nonetheless, It was a great building process and I'm very proud of what came to be the result, might even be my new favorite locomotive I've built!
