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  |
Thats ok, thanks for the pictures and the dimensions and if I hadn't entered an engine I would have voted for yours.

Its wonderful Moosey! Really interesting, never seen one of these before.
I think though that you really should have that steam valve engraved

Thanks mate! Les' example is in much better shape than mine, but yes, it's a great little engine.....very solid, goes like a bomb. I can't quite work out what the handwheel is made of, but I think it's wood!

Mine was as bad as yours when I got it, it would not run at all, so it was stripped within 20 mins of me getting it, cleaned and painted and a hell of a long time fiddling with it to get it to run.
I have looked at the handwheel and it looks as is made from the same sort of stuff early circuits boards were made from.
