Nice - like the traction engine in the background too
PM sent.Thanks Steve, I was hoping for an address
Sounds a nice way to pass the time Was it a scratch build job or a kit?Thanks,Steve,I love model engineering,Railway locos and stock are my main interest,But i do like a nice showmans engine, I built this years ago,It is a 2 inch scale Burrell special scenic showmans road loco,sits at the end of my workshop and when im not doing any work,i just sit in there with a pint and have the canopy lights on.
To continue a thread conversation, I too have a penchant for traction engines. Of course, Steve Baldock who contributes amazing things to the S7 threads, is the co-owner and designer at Steam Traction World. I have their scenic showmans and have done lots of fun things with it. Thoroughly recommended.Sounds a nice way to pass the time Was it a scratch build job or a kit?
I'm rather partial to traction engines (understatement!) - I even had a tour around Steam Traction World last year and having got to within a gnats whisker of deciding what to go for - I then lost my ruddy build space Currently having to make do my drooling over my mates 4" SCC engine and hoping to blag a drive when its done. He's getting a Lykamobile steam car next so I suspect I shall be offering a hand when its needed
Maybe in another couple of years I'll get round to having the space and the money...

Edit to put in correct company name..muppet, brain thinks one thing, fingers type another!
They are so secure that I'd been chatting model engineering with DSMEE members for over forty years before getting an invitation And I live only five miles from it. DavidDSMEE don't publicise their location on their own website (most likely for reasons of security), so I think we should respect that here.
