I have seen some photos of some custom live steam double fairlies. I am pretty interested in having one made, can anyone give some advice on who can make one etc. Too bad Roundhouse does not make a factory built one. Would probably be popular.

Here is a recent youtube of one:

What ever technical difficulties there might be, running two boilers in tandem, that one certainly seems to have overcome them. Perhaps it isn't actaully two completely separate boilers, but two linked by a pressure-equalising pipe. Very nice! defo looks the business. :thumbup::thumbup:
 
I made a batch of fully detailed Double Fairlies in the 90's I can still supply the etched parts for Merddin Emrys but the driving trucks will be redesigned when I can find time, they will hopefully incorporate the single eccentric reversible valve gear I have designed for the FR England engine Welsh Pony, but I do not have a date for that.
