Now I have no ACTUAL knowledge of this motor but I have heard that they were similar to Hornby Dublo Pancakes so it might be worth checking that out they were really good slow running engines can remember that as a friend had a couple of GWR freight loco's that he used to enjoy putting 35 wagons on the back and doing a snails pace with them
