Sentinel Locomotive - Humpybong - 009 - HOe - HOn2.5

The Sentinel Waggon Works of Shrewsbury, England produced a range of steam-powered road and rail vehicles. Their distinctive locomotives had a squat boiler located in the cab and a compact vertical steam engine at the front, driving the wheels via chains. Sentinel locomotives sported a number of different body and cab styles.

My freelance narrow-gauge model pays homage to the Sentinel locomotives above the footplate, with a tram-style chassis designed to take a KATO 109 Chassis (28mm wheel centres).

My loco has been named “Humpybong” (a place name derived from the Australian aboriginal words meaning “deserted shelters”).
