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

I am going to vote for the Wilesco D455 too.
It's a nice stationary engine.  _________________ Andrew

Hard work deserves credit, and I did have a hard time deciding between it and the Wilesco. _________________ Your life is an occasion...Rise to it |

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

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.  _________________ Manx, the mobile man |

Splendid engines one and all - creativity wins it for me though! Got to be the Wilesco. _________________ Stands the glass half empty,
