This is a brief build log for my still-under-construction "Sweet Pea" steam locomotive. Designed by Jack Buckler in the late 1970s to run on 5" gauge track, it had proved so popular that it was soon converted to run on 3.5" track (known as "Sweet Violet") and 7.25" gauge track (known as "Sweet William"); a different take which visually looks like an 0-6-0 standard gauge tank engine has also been done (known as "Metre Maid").
