Great videos, all of them and nice to see a mobile in motion. I really like the safety valve relieving the pressure in a strong stream. Thanks for posting those  _________________ Cheers

Fantastic set of videos Peter, really is a fabulous machine. After having a go on a full size coal burner i can see the appeal of having a small one to play with at home.  _________________ My Website:

Fantastic set of videos there. I've only ever seen the Maxitrak Fowler running stationary, so this was a delight to watch circling around your wonderful garden. You could do with a grass cutting implement to attach to the rear, would make mowing the lawn much more enjoyable !!!! I also liked the last clip of the engine just ticking over, especially the sound of the thump, thump, thump, like you hear on the full size engine. Thank you very much for going to the effort to firing it, most enjoyable.  _________________ Jason |

Coal only.Gas would be the easy way out and spoil the fun/challenge of coal firing. |

Thank you Andrew.It is impossible to keep a lid on the boiler pressure when the engine is mobile.When stationary I can control it by opening the fire door. |
