looks very good that.

fantastic.

I suggest you reinforce the baseplate as it has very little strength between the engine frame and boiler base plate. The steam pipe becomes a structural member. I have a SP3 with a broken solder joint so I know they are not that strong.

You could get tyres for those wheels once. I wouldn't recommend shelling out for such a collectors item as they are likely to perrish, but some thick o-ring would do.

Good luck with your trials.
