Lion (Titfield Thunderbolt) Miniature Steam Locomotive Build - pt 1 Introduction

This is the first of a series of videos documenting my build of a 5" gauge locomotive Lion. She is based upon the full size locomotive currently on display at in the Museum of Liverpool. She was originally built in 1838 by Todd Kitson and Laird and was rebuilt with a larger boiler, larger cylinders and longer frame in 1842 through to 1843.
