Howdy all again 
In my never ending quest to find weird hidden Gems I just scored what I believe is a Winteringham Live Steam loco
There is very little info out there on them but best I can glean is they were produced by Winteringham in the UK, based on Georges Carette design and tooling after he fled Germany in the lead up to WW1, and the subsequent liquidation of assets starting in 1916, where shortly after the end of the war Bassett-Lowke bought a lot out , as Carette made a lot of tinplate for B-L before the war proper... The loco is in not too bad shape and running gear is intact and good apart from missing the actual steam piston and cylinder. Flywheel and gearing is intact and good ... I suspect sourcing a "wobbler" piston unit for it will be very hit and miss , so was wondering if anyone out there might have photos or any clue as to the power unit? Requires a safety valve on the boiler but looks like a std Mamod one will fit 
I am aware that Mike in Ireland ( Brysons) has one for sale , but it appears it is missing a few crucial parts as well ( the burner) and for over $500 landed here its not really a proposition lol
In one of those mad ebay moments this was found here locally in Australia and was listed as a "Large tin push train " ... I most certainly did an enormous double take seeing it ... and there was only one other bidder who obviously didn't know what it was as I got it for the price of a pub meal !!!
Any info gratefully accepted and any leads/documentation/spares( yeh right lol ) would be appreciated .
You never know your luck in the big city
