We seem to have had a few camcorder battery charge problems of late. Do we need to post an instructional thread? 
You stationary guys are gradually winning me over. I particularly like the vertical boiler versions like this and the Bing's. Any recommendations for a quality collectable? 
Nice Engine Moose. Interesting history.

Maybe a Bing, Doll or Marklin, but you want to go for a complete if possible, i.e. has got burner and chimney.

I'm pretty chuffed with it....it's going on the shelf now (OK, maybe another run or two) until I have time to properly tidy it up - couple of projects to finish first.

Moose, is the Wilson anywhere nearer to being restored?

Moose, when you have the chance, could you post some pictures of the oiler along with the dimensions please.

Les, sorry, a large floating object got in the way of the Wilson restoration....I'll sort those pics and measurements for you ASAP....I now remember I'd promised those ages ago... 
If I don't post them soon, kick me....
BTW, I would've voted for the Wilson as EOTM, but I decided to be selfish and vote for myself
