Amazing. Such a work of engineering art. If I had built that I would stand and look at it ticking over for hours. How satisfying that must have been when you completed it. Such an acheivment. Well Done.
An incredible achievement Ian, and a testament to the skills that you have applied to the building of this exceptional machine. A very professional production, that I'm so proud to have contributed such a small part....Very Best wishes to you and Joan, and I wish you both a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New year....Bob
Hi Ian, You do beautiful work. I have started working on a partially completed Live Steam Models ltd simple Agricultural engine. It came with a Bell Boiler, and is up on its wheels. Much of the grunt work is done. I figure a couple of years to go depending on the availability of parts and castings. I am on the east coast of the USA. Regards, Kap
Hello Kap, Thank you for your very kind comments. My first Traction Engine was a 4 1/2" scale Plastow Burrell. Started in about 1970 it was not finished until 2006! I didn't rush it! 8-) Keep going and you'll get there! Ian
Hi Ian, Your 4 1/2" Plastow Burrell is beautiful too. I have a 3" Plastow I purchased from Station Road Steam last year. I have built a couple other traction engines and locomotives over the years. I may have a few technical questions to ask at some time. Regards, Kap
