Hard as it is to ignore the TE's the Wilesco D455 (the crematory) rebuild does it for me.

Awesome.

I am going to vote for the Wilesco D455 too.

It's a nice stationary engine.

Hard work deserves credit, and I did have a hard time deciding between it and the Wilesco.

Lest I am accused of ballot stuffing, I asked Andrew to pick his engine before I told him my preference.

Nice work, Tom.

I love the mobiles and this month their are just to many to choose from. I'll have to go for the Mamod N&B TE. It's a lovely model and although not the very first version, I've only ever seen 2 like this.
