    Me again. Love the wood as fuel rather than gas like a lot of the builders use. Best steam engine I’ve seen on here. Looks and sounds real efficient. You sir, are not only a craftsman, but an artist.

    In the UK, many of the previously axed lines are being brought back into use or bought by charities and opened up as steam railways. There are hundreds of locos being restored. The age of steam is not dead..at least not here 🇬🇧👍

    Love it. I use to restore model T’s and old stationary farm engines with my son when he was 6 years old until he went off to college. We always meant to restore a steam engine but never had the opportunity. He is 39 now, and an electrical engineer with a PhD. Had chosen to work with high school kids and taught robotics and electronics before becoming a superintendent. I always believed his early start with mechanical fun gave him the foundation. Love your dedication and talent.

    I hate walking trails. Boring with nowhere to go, just straight ahead. They should leave the tracks as they are and make a walking trail beside the tracks for people like you, with some ingenuity to do things that you enjoy without causing trouble. I mean, with this thing you could travel for miles. On foot, you'll be lucky if you can cover 5 miles as a sightseers. Tgat the tracks remain there for another 100 years is not going to harm anyone, does it? I'd rather see rail tracks than gravel. Besides tracks can come really handy to transport screening and gravel along the tracks to make and maintain walking tracks.

    What an AWSOME build you have done. Great work. Whistle sounds great. Boiler not too big. Forward/reverse on engine without stopping.👍

    Хороший паровозик!) Руки золотые) Хотя конечно может интересней было бы видеть, если это было бы чуть более похоже на традиционный паровоз) Но это больше как дрезина.

    This is a vertical boiler design (there was one at the 'Rainhill' trials which Stephensons 'Rocket' won). I like the clutch though!

    Very small version of a Shay, essentially. I love it!
