Manxman Excellent pics and something new in each set. Thanks. steamyjim Quote: The large green and black German one also pictured- not ours, is a Marklin, Mirko put me right as I thought it was a Doll    It was big, but not as big as the huge Bing needing resto   Thanks for the info! Was that the bing with the water tank on the chimney in the big shed? Near the front door barry1946 I think all Forum members involved deserve a hearty congratulations! The display tables are superb. Nick Great Pics! Better late than never. I loved that sawmill setup run by a Wilesco. I was also wondering if MM's Bowman workshop made it and I guess it did.

Was that the bing with the water tank on the chimney in the big shed? Near the front door I think it was SJ, possibly opposite John Paul and Odilons display. The chimney wasnt on the engine when I saw it, but was laid along the boiler, it was looking a bit rusty green in colour, few cobwebs as well. There was another with wter to go in the chimney similar to me dads and Mirkos in size, but this one was like twice as big   steamyjim Aye the rusty one was the one i meant Atticman steamyjim wrote: Aye the rusty one was the one i meant Did anyone get pics of it, wish I did.

What a gem   I looked at that one at STIA, but I assumed that somebody had fitted a horizontal boiler at a later date to the remains of a Trojan that would have had a vertical boiler originally. I didn't know that early ones were like that.... interesting!
