No.2991 Salty, as delivered to the Sumtown Tramway a few years ago. While not as accurate as a traditional Class 07 diesel (owing to modifications made at Crova's Gate before arrival at the Sumtown), this locomotive is still quite an exceptional looking locomotive. The only fault is that the drivetrain is not as robust as the appearance of No.2991, not having as much durability or solidity as the more traditional and well-built machines.

The side profile of No.2991, showing the details imposed upon it. Notable are the numerous handrails, vents, and details molded on, as well as the solid construction of the connecting rods and railings. In the flesh, this diesel looks stunning, and truly does make an exceptional-looking piece.

The rear of the locomotive, showing off more of the simple yet elegant appearance. A regular performer on the shunting turns when the other smaller engines are busy or unavailable, No.2991 is a proven performer with the looks to match. With a bit of weathering in the future, this diesel could be incredible.
