	The Amalgamation of Victorian Railways; or What Followed the Railway Mania

	James (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The changes for James are quite obviously the new front pony truck added "experimentally", suggested by the real loco's large front overhang, and thus converting an 0-6-0 into a 2-6-0, besides the removal of the front sandboxes.
		David L Smith in Tales of the Glasgow and South Western Railway, describes in one instance, that after one of Drummond's earlier "Pumper" 0-6-0 engines, "the change of conditions was like a transfer to Heaven after a sojourn in Another Place."
		It is also likely, seeing that James is not a regular on the Ffarquhar branch, that this model dates from earlier, larger layouts of the 1950s.
