Facinating how you get it restored and ready to run again. Looks fantastic.

A project well done! What a beautiful Lokey...... very well proportioned. Finished just in time for a "STEAMY" New Year Celebration!

Thanks , yes it will be steamed for Christmas at least

Never ceases to amaze me how guys can build these locomotives from scratch, and some build many! Incredible. Good video John. Cheers AC

[@johnphillips592]

Agreed , and Ken builds these locos and wagons with no plans , it's all from his mind

Fantastic little engine, would be nice if Katie could come down for a run at MSTEC one day, hopefully the cab is narrow enough to clear the platforms there as they did set them up for their little loco's. Still haven't made it up to Lynton yet, annoying I live so far away but it'll happen hopefully.

I'm think that both Merlin and Katie are too wide .
