OK Nick, there is no doubt that is a very impressive engine...I always thought the Maxitrak was big, but the 65 HP Case dwarfs it.

Hey Nick .... if you ever decide to name this beautiful beast, I'd consider the name "Manitoba" as being quite apropos, and I'll bet you could get David (vpro) to make you up some really nice signboards for it.

Or you could name it "Michael's Engine" to go with "Michael's Museum" but that would probably start a family feud. :)

I think "Manitoba" is a much better idea Nick.

Awesome Nick!

Thanks for the great pics.

Have you tested it on air yet?

Not yet, need to fix the connection for the pressure gauge and the whistle as they've been knocked loose over the years, as it was displayed at a show many times.

The engine does already have a builder's plate and I like the idea, but it was actually built in Saskatchewan

and Charlie, I think "Nick's Engine" sounds much better than "Michael's Engine"

Saskatchewan would be a great name too .... but Manitoba is shorter, so the signage would likely cost a little less, as if that even matters at this point.
