Hi all, Abdul here, age 24, I only have 3 engines, but I'm keen too take part in STWWW.
Fascinated by steam since I was quite small, after my neighbour, who sadly passed away, built a replica of an early Stanley steam car, approx 1903-1905.
Here is my table.
Wilesco Showmans with RC steering.
Wilesco D366 SR with RC steering/forward/reverse.
My newly upgraded Mamod SA1LBK Kit Limousine with RC steering.
Videos too follow of my engines performing tasks.
Thankyou for looking at my page, will update this.
Picture of my very small collection below.

In any car forum, you will get comments going along the lines of "I like those wheel rims on the roadster- are they aftermarket, and where did you get them ?"
Very nice!

Hi everyone, thankyou for the kind comments, very much appreciated.
Videos still too come. Filming was too happen today. Wanted too film outside, but a storm/lightning/rain has put a stop too that.
Videos are too be my engines under load, doing heavy haulage.
If the rain persists, I might just have to do it in the rain, or inside.
I'm guessing I have till tomorrow sometime at the latest?
Wallace
Nice engines

I had a lot of fun today, Videos finally uploaded. A day of steaming, chasing them around, and yes those are shoe laces linking the engines.
If there are any issues with the videos, in terms of playability and quality, let me know. They seem too be playing ok, first one I uploaded, had some issues.
Sandman
What great videos Abdul.
I'm really impressed by the heavy haulage double header and the fact that these machines can tackle such an incline.
Great table.

A very impresive video demonstration of the power of a Wilesco mobile.At one stage it almost looked as though the Peugeot was about to be towed away.

3 nice mobiles you have there , and interesting to see them radio controlled .
Roly Williams
It's always good to see heavy haulage in action. I think you've discovered how difficult it is to control more than one engine at a time!
