I think I saw a similar chassis in the works at Riverside Live Steamers back in 2009. I wonder if this is the finished model? Anyhoo, the Thumbnail image made me believe you had shot the photo in a museum's engine shed. I Never gave a thought to the 10/1 Scale plastic water bottle in front of the locomotive.
The Challenger was an entirely different line compared to the Mallets. Mallets had large front cylinders where it's high pressure at the rear set, then low pressure at the front. The challenger on the other hand, used high pressure in both sets of equal sized cylinders. But Love it, nonetheless!!
