My design of a iso-butane fired, single cylinder Cricket Style geared locomotive. It has a clutch on the jack shaft that can be used to disengage the wheels and run the flywheel separately. This could then be belted off to a saw mill. This is the first test run under live steam. Fair, but not great performance, until I tweaked the burner a bit. Now runs like a champ for about 25 minutes. Now it needs a couple side tanks and a cab and some other trimmings. Hope to have it complete by Diamondhead 2014 Steamup.
