The next accessory to run was a Krauss Chromotrope c 1930.

A far more interesting device than the Wilesco wheel.
I think both the Jensen engine and Generator need some running in, a task that you should be up to.

I agree with that, and it was the first time I had seen the wheel running as well. So a second video of it, this time
being driven by a Bowman M101.

This one is for Richard, when we got him he was missing the pulley, so Meccanno to the rescue.

Sorry about that John, but I was concentrating on the running and the video, that I forgot to take any
decent pictures of my engines. 
Hope you like them so far.

I see them quite often without the sausages, wonder if one could fashion new ones?

You should be able to as they are only wooden beads as you will see when Richards one arrives at your house.

The #75 again with the generator.
Even though they both need running in, I am impressed with these.

Beautiful ,Les.
But I cannot help but notice the clamp anchoring the accesssory. Considering the remarkable collection you have why have you not grouped them into displays, diaramas, etc.

I do not have the room to keep the accessories on a board yet, and it easier to pack and transport them as they are.

Those Bowmans seem to run forever dont they? I will have to do a photobucket of my "Kettle" running the 15 that I have, but not here.
Most often Accessories dont go cheaply when I have a bit in the discretionary fund. I think the Fleischmann is the one that goes the longest on a boiler of water though.
I am enjoying seeing the accessories in motion, post as many as you wish as I am loving it.

Fortunately, this one seems complete with sausages and pulley. But you'll know before me, John.
