Maybe it's ambidextrous
But then coal is only fossilised trees
.....and the odd dinosaur.

And, the incy wincy small matter of several million yearsBut then coal is only fossilised trees
Plus, you don't get dinosaurs in coal, fossils yes, dinosaurs no, they came later by about 100 million years

Here is a quote from a review of the Jim Henson company (he of Muppets fame) DINOSAUR TRAIN:
Buddy, a T-Rex, is adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Pteranodon and along with his siblings Tiny, Shiny and Don they are eager to learn all about their world. They board the Dinosaur Train which is a special train that is specially shaped to accommodate all types of dinosaurs and can (this is the neat bit which resolves the modelling period issue) travel between the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous worlds while the conductor provides lots of interesting dinosaur facts.
I guess the loco is fitted with a special chip which can operate on AC and BC …..

Ah yes - the Paleozoic. But having successfully proved the principle of time travel by rail, surely all the dinosaurs would have to do is obtain running powers over the LNWR line to Oswestry, and they can then link up with the CAMBRIAN - the earliest period of the Paleozoic?

Bit of catching up to do, and I'm behind with all the projects on the bench, with frailty and illness in the family having intervened of late I seem to have obtained the position of " Cappo della famiglia" but then they spent half there lives bringing me up so now it's my turn to care for them, which I feel is my responsibility.
Well the North British atlantic is coming along with chassis work coming to completion. It's running an ABC box and Cannon motor.
Most of this has been cut on the profile miller from my own patterns, rods, slidebars etc. are nickel silver as are the sheet metal parts.
Smoke box interior.
Tender is further down the line.
More to come shortly.

I think my Australian loco has these so I'm glad Colin's getting some practice before he does mine.

Lovely work Col but the photo makes the cab roof appear to slope down to the rear. Best to find out before the paint goes on. Been there!!
