IF.........

Rob · IF.........

if you could have brought any engine which was for sale today, which would it be? mine would have been the maxitrax burrell opposite tony greens stall. beautiful.

James

On forest Classics?

Had a close look at it... wasn't that good, and Phil agreed.

£2600, and it was quite roughly made

Made in China you see

Not very well milled and finished off!

Im afraid i have to agree with James.

Its not as good since Cheddar stopped. They used to have proper loco boilers from them

Rob

yeh? i only had a glance at her. didnt really check her out. i do agree that they are a bit pricey for what they are. that was forest then opposite tony greens?

steamyjim

Aye it were Forest

James

Phil = complete legend.

For me it would be one of Atticman's big german engines (in the tent).

Or perhaps Ian's MF Twin with the countershaft. (drool)

(The bowman locos were pretty good too.)

No actually I'll settle for the Abbey beam engine.

Rob

ha nice one mc, micheal right? just got a sight of you label today.

Any chance that those of us stateside and down under can get a peek at some photos from the show like the 2600 pound chinese traction engine or whatever that was, along with some of your displayed pieces and others worthy of mention.

Thanks in advance.

i think theyre brill, but i am now dissapointed that the machining is not very tidy

James

Yeah, like where we would round off an edge, they just cut it off flat

MooseMan

Didn't really come to buy today....in fact, thanks to Jimbo Ileft with more cash than I arrived with. Did buy a Mamod meths burner for the loco though, just to try it out.

Mind you, my table was right next to MF......felt my hand straying in the direction of my wallet once or twice.

James

aye and I'm £70 in debt to me old man

What all did you buy James?

I was not there, but if I had the money, I would love to have an engine like Mavericks.
I wonder how many Steam Toys will be made in China as time goes on. This could be the best or the worst thing for Steam Toys.
