NWR No.6 'Percy,' as photographed in March 2012. Small yet sprightly, this locomotive was obtained as early as 2003, and was the second locomotive to ever work the original railway. The original locomotive suffered manufacturing defects, and was quickly returned and replaced with this identical locomotive - which has run continuously for almost 10 years with no major faults whatsoever. The motor and mechanism work very well still, and it truly continues to impress and amaze with its ability. In terms of its pulling power it is very weak - unable to pull lots of trucks or heavy weights without spinning - but it does continue to work well despite this.

The rear of the locomotive. Overall a small, cheerful locomotive that will perform well with a few trucks. Though not the most powerful engine out there it is still a solid performer and will continue to do so for the forseeable future.
