I think Mirko said it was a doll, but I can't quite remember. (Senility)



No, that's a Plank Buffer/Grinder
You should repaint the lower part also black (looks a bit wrong now)

Now on to my little Bowman M 140.

I thought this one was steam tight, l but alas it had a little leak at the boiler.

The little engine still performed, though I've a little soldering to do.

A wonderful collection of engines there, I would love to have the pre-war Marklins in my collection. Plus a great restoration on the Bowman 101

Getting near the end of my exhibits now, and next up is one of my fun engines.

Bought simply for steaming and giving me a bit of fun.

Mamod SE 2

Nearly done now, but here's a couple of pics of a lovely little boxed SEL 1540 Standard I have.

I have a special job in mind for this engine at the STIA.

Well that's about it from me and my table.

I can't tell you how much the success of this venture means to myself, the team and of course the Steve_S one of our esteemed judges who came up with the idea in the first place.

When the team gave me the job of promoting and running the event, I never thought for a minute the response would be as overpowering as it has been.

It's been a busy weekend and now I'm signing off my table and wandering round the others till the end of the event.

I'll have a full report including some areas that did not go as well as planned, but that is for later when the weekend is officially over.

So all that said, here's my last vid starring my favourite fun engine.

It's a Mamod SE 2A and my last item on the table.
