This is my wood bodied tram I made
back in 2006. It has a single mamod loco cylinder, is meths fired,
and is made mostly of wood and aluminum.

Thanks;
BWM

Some people are just really good with wood.  That's you, for sure.  What a nice looking job you did here.  Very
attractive!  All I get from wood is splinters...

Wow, that looks terrific. I really like how all the colours and materials seem to complement each other so well. The finish on the wood is beautiful, and looks so nice with the brass and copper parts. Very nice job!
