Mike you certainly have courage building those little ones, if the baseboard is 11X10cm that is approx 4 inches square, it looks like the loco's are 2mm to the foot scale. The Puffing Billy is the correct way round, it has a return flu boiler with the smoke stack and the fire box on the same side and the driver operating from the section with the railings around. Also shown are Stephensons Rocket which won the 1829 Rainhill Trials which was run to select a loco builder for The Liverpool and Manchester Railway. The other loco is Stepensons Locomotion No1 of 1825 which he built for The Stockton and Darlington Raliway. I am busy building a model of Richard Trevethick's 1805 loco Penn-Y-Darren in 8mm scale, the first steam loco to ever haul a train on rails.
