@jhz563 posted:I didn't talk to the Hatton's guys long enough. I started looking at their website and it seems they make/sell their own product in addition to reselling others. Is that correct? Also, were you able to order the engine above set up for 3 rail or is it a two rail, dc model ?
The engine in question was made by Hattons. It's 3-rail. Also, warning, the body of both engine and tender are plastic, with little bits that can break off very easily. See my post here:

As I posted there: Coal load separate, had to be inserted into tender—and didn't fit! Finally I had to saw off a piece and file down sharp edges to insert it. Tender attached to engine by very thin piece of metal, held together with Phillips head screw—so you couldn't see details inside cab until you separated them. A few months after I received it, more bits to be added to engine mailed loose to me from the UK in flimsy 9x12 envelope, so arrived broken into several pieces! Just put all the bits and pieces into the box, never to be dealt with.
Here are more photos: "Seat" on left has broken off, arrived from overseas that way.
You see those golden pipes on the front? They're thin plastic! Will break off unless you handle it with great care. I have it on a shelf, never otherwise touch it.
Looks gorgeous, but only if you never, ever run it!!!
