It's a nice model!

I would get one at the right price maybe slightly better in red?

Should go quite fast, not sure it would last too long, especially as it's twin cylinder

I'd like to see one in steam! defiantly!

Got the steering sorted out.
Made a bellcrank out of some printed circit board.

Works like a charm....
