" Tiny " 0-4-0 Broad Gauge engine.
(This engine is under construction and will be made of scrap materials in S7 mm .)
(For more information about the Tiny in the musuem at Buckfastleigh click here.)

"Tiny" at work in the yards of Kingswear.
	Little "Tiny" at work in the yards of Kingswear. This little engine is very usefull to shunt the wagons which have to be loaded or unloaded. She has to pull one or two wagons in the yards. photo 18/08/2002 cdj ©
"Tiny" in her almost finished but unpainted state.
	This picture let see the almost finished state of "Tiny". After cleaning we shall paint the small engine in the correct colours. So far we know what these colours are. A lot of small details are mounted at the boiler and de vertical steam engine. Most of these parts are made bij hand sometimes using a magnifier. After painting the engine the motor will be replaced and her first trip can happen at the finished parts of the model railway. One of the axles is sprung so we get a good contact with the tracks. photo 12/05/2002 cdj © For more details of the real Tiny click here.
Details at the top of the verticalboiler and engine.
	The details at the top of the boiler and the vertical steamengine. Al those parts are made by hand with a lot of patience.We only need to make a steam presure gauge and a small pipe from the valve at the bottom to the top op the boiler. photo 12/05/2002 cdj ©
Front view of 0-4-0 "Tiny" at the station of Kingswear.
	Tiny is placed at one of the BG tracks at the station Kingswear. The woodwork of the canopy is not yet finished but is getting shape. At this picture you can see already one of the triangles for moving the steam valves. The second picture shows Tiny in front of a convertible brakevan. photo's 31/03/2002 cdj ©
Front view of 0-4-0 "Tiny" at the complete motion.
	The parts needed to move the steamvalves are mounted complete at the axle of the steam engine. These parts are very small and fragiel. When the motor is turning a little rubber band moves the axle of the steam engine. Two toothwheels are turning then the axle with the wheels. The finishing of the model can start now. photo 31/03/2002 cdj ©

The inside motion of the vertical steam-engine.
	Here a clear view at the small steam engine. The inside motion is getting shape, we need to make the pistons for the steam valves. The crankaxle and driving rods are already mounted in place. photo 16/03/2002 © cdj.
Whats under the frame of "Tiny".
	For the propelling of the crankaxle we use a rubber band because there no room for gears. The axles with the white nylon poulies are adjustable so we can regulate the tension of the rubber band. One of the axles is coupled to the crankaxle by the gear at the rightsite. The other axle willbe moved by the coupling rods. This axle is sprung with two small coilsprings. photo 16/03/2002 © cdj.

Broad Gauge 0-4-0 engine "Tiny" in S7mm 1: 43 ½.
	Here the parts needed to construct the 0-4-0 Broad Gauge engine "Tiny".The parts are made by the builder of the engine. The little motor is a part from a creditcard reader made by Faulhaber. The small gearbox is an intergrated part of the motor. The model is under construction the Netherlands by CdJ.
Parts for the inside-motion to move the steam valves.
	These parts are the parts for the motion the steam valves. They are very small and constructed from diverend pieces of brass. With solder and a lot of patience we constructed the parts as seen on the picture. photo 22/03/2002 cdj.
One complete set motion to move a steam valve.
	A complete set of the steam valve motion. This part consists of 10 small parts. With a lot of patience the part is assembled together. The parts are hand made from diverend materials. At the first picture at the top of this page you can see such a part mounted at the engine.There are two of this parts at the engine when it's finished. photo 02/04/2002 cdj

"Tiny" is getting shape slowly.

The man and "Tiny".
	When a modeldriver is standing on the engine you can see how small it is. When the springs are mounted the engine will be higher above rail level. The little man is not correct for the periode but give an impression of the dimensions of "Tiny" Photo 01/09/2001 © CdJ.

The real "Tiny".
	South Devon Railway 0-4-0 vertical boilered Tiny, the only original broad-gauge locomotive to survive to the present day, at it was in 1899 doing duty as a stationary water pumping engine at Newton Abbot locomotive works.. It is now preserved and stands as a memorial to the broad gauge on the station platform there, being destined ultimately for Swindon Museum. In it's early days this engine worked the Sutton branch, then in Newton Abbot yard and later at Millbay docks.
