MM2 raised base with brass burner. God I love this engine! Its very near mint, the decal is clear as day! I prefur this to the flatbase one Ive got! Finally a raised base MM2 I can be proud of

SE2 little worse for wear, needs soldering missing a few bits, but the decal on the firebox is mint again, amazing considering the mess the engine is in!

Very nice MM.

Both engines are nice. Really like the MM2. That will be a gleamer when you polish it.

Nice additions.

Great stuff MM

MM2 is fantastic, so is SE2. Great decals

Sorry, I had to laugh when I saw missing thread. You seemed to be the king of getting broken threads. Now I'm going through it

But very nice engines

The MM2 is excellent Wallace. I don't think the SE2 is bad either. O.k. some soldering and missing parts, but apart from that it's basically just dirty.

Spot on mate.

Been doing the Minor 2 today!


Before:










After:














This minor 2 is a minter! I think its only been fired about 2-3 times in its life! The base has no chips anywhere! Its the same red throughout, even where the burner sits! The decal is crisp and clear aswell which is good to see. The burner is nice to have aswell! If you see an engine with this type of burner, snap it up! They are not common at all!

what you think guys?
