BlockTalk Summary
A LEGO fan has created a unique model of the Wrexham, Mold and Connah's Quay Railway 2-6-0T locomotive, a rare piece of railway history. The model, built by /u/LastTraintoSector6, showcases the builder's skill in recreating a distinctive locomotive with limited reference material.
The challenge in building this model was the lack of available images, as only one angled photo of the locomotive exists. The builder chose to replicate this specific 2-6-0T because it was one of only two of its kind ever built in the United Kingdom. This particular locomotive is unique due to its inside cylinders. Despite its small size, the builder managed to incorporate two motor cubes into the model.
A notable feature of this LEGO model is the swiveling front end, which, while not true to the original design, is intended to improve its performance on LEGO tracks. The model's creation highlights the dedication and creativity of LEGO enthusiasts who enjoy recreating unique and obscure subjects.

Despite it being pretty petite, I managed to cram two motor cubes into this. The whole front end swivels, which isn't prototypical, but would probably make it a better runner on Lego track. ...
