In the early 1980s Henner started work on his own tram engine: he got as far as a complete running chassis and an unfinished boiler. All these parts sat in his house in Germany until early 2005 when his son shipped the whole thing to him in California. He then gave me the locomotive in exchange for a brand new D10 kit.
