Of course also, she has been built by an English enthusiast of Chapelon's locomotives! I highly suggest you to visit the website of The Stappleford railway to learn more about her and their other very fine models representing locomotives of many continents. Un grand bravo, Neil. I'll ask you soon if you allow me to put some of the technical details you have sent to me on these pages.

Built in 1928-29 by the apprentices of various schools of this network...
This marvel had been lent to Czechoslovakia for an exhibition in March
1939, a few month before the begining of World War II... and has
disapeared since. May be does it exisits yet, stored in any dark and deep
warehouse somewhere in eastern Europe. Any information ??
