I am currently building a Regner Saxonia kit for a friend. As can be seen in the movie, the chassis runs on compressed air. I've been taking pictures throughout the build: check out the gallery.
I spent a lot of time assembling the wood tender as well as the wood lagging for the boiler. My friend has asked me to add two features to the basic kit: a pressure gauge and a radio control. While I've figured out how I will add these, I have yet to get started on them. One problem that is delaying the build a bit is that several parts were missing from the kit. They should be on their way from Germany a I type this so hopefully, I can complete the engine soon.
