Hello,
this week, I have found a curious Issmayer loco with a lever outside the cab.
The front wheel part was missing, so I had made my own.
The lever is for start and stop.
I also found the locomotive in Michael Bowes' Issmayer book, but in green (page 159).
But the lever seems to be missing in place, at the point of the shaft you can see a slightly rusty spot, as if the lever had broken off.
Since the tender is missing, she got a temporary replacement, which is the wrong color, but I think it was made in the same time.
Greetings
Arne
