Uranus (2.5 Gauge)

Overview
Uranus is a locomotive based on an idea by J.A. Joslin for a British-style 4-8-4, with the build described by LBSC in English Mechanics in 1932. She is often confused with the similar Helen Long, however Uranus is a Tender locomotive wheras Helen Long is a Tank engine.

Controversy
Someone ‘leaked’ a ‘doctored’ copy of the model drawing in full-size railway circles and a number of industry professionals were hoaxed into believing the locomotive was a real project.
