10 Wheeler
Letter from Jan-Eric Nyström to Kenneth Shattock, 6 February 2016:
- I thought that you might want to have a picture of my latest LS loco, the 999 Ten-wheeler, so I enclose one.
- I built the loco in 2006-2012, and it won the "Best of Show" at the 2015 Helsinki "Model Expo". The loco weighs about 400 lbs, the tender about 100 lbs. I usually run it at our Railway Museum during special event days every summer.
- All the best from Finland - now it's only just below freezing, but a couple of weeks ago it was -20C/-5F !
