I agree, the construction of the main wheels/spokes is very interesting. I don't think I've ever seen spokes done that way before.

That is one cute little bugger.  I wouldn't mind making a working 1/12th scale of it in metal. I wonder how many blew up from tilting?  Let it be a little low on water and try to move it, the water will slosh against the hot end plate, flash steam and then wham!  Where is the firebox?
