Hi everyone and welcome to my table.

I've been into steam engines for about 3 years as a hobby but have always owned at least one toy engine since I was a baby due to my dad being a railway fanatic, although I always had a passing interest in steam.

I thought I'd keep it simple and just present my engines.  This is my first STWWW and I didn't want to try anything too fancy.  I have several new videos and plenty of new pictures but I'm also including a few videos and pictures I've already posted for completeness.

I also have a special picture for Pauly!!...I think he'll know which one

Here goes..............

I thought I'd start with my smaller mobile engines.

Great photos Dave and a lovely lineup of mobiles in the sun.

Looking forward to seeing some of your bigger engines too.

Excellent pics and vids.

My favourites are the Mercer and that black and brass Wilesco.

Cheers.  The wilesco is the best value traction engine I own.  I got it before the price rises a few years ago and it will run to a very slow tickover

I do love the Mercer and the picures in the grass really do it justice.

It's the black Wilesco for me, and you'll have to get a slasher for the Mercer, a much better way to cut the lawn,    

Cheers
