Just a few pics I had at hand;
SE1
It came with this little leaflet, always nice to have.
SE2 before and after a bit of TLC. Note the bent steam pipe and exhaust throttle, I guess is suffered a fall at some stage. Fortunately I managed to straighten them out.
Just a clean and polish needed for the SE3,
"Wells” traction engine made by a “D Sutton” with missing steam pipework (fixed now!)
And under steam powering my Mamod workshop. A Mamod burner was used as the original one is a bit unreliable!

Thanks for sharing your pics. A very nice set of models and as already said always good to see a Wells being used. Have fun on the forum and we'll enjoy watching your colection grow.  _________________ Manx, the mobile man |
