I love it Nick.

Oh great Steam hunter would you find one for me? :)

BTW: I was thinking this morning that this will probably end up being the longest thread in Forum history.

Keep up the good work Nick!

Unfortunately this one will never be fired as they are very common with cracked fireboxes after being fired.

I don't mean to get out of line but mine was fired and has at least twelve cracks in the fire house.
I took it apart and it was packed between it and the boiler with polishing compound. That may have
been the problem with expansion. Didn't know they were numbered, have to check mine.
Oh Nick if you know how to move this up into place please do so. Thanks.

You were definitely playing, and winning, at BLINGO with that table full of Trev's Treasures!

I've always liked the three cylinder "radial" engine as a unique visual treat. Too bad the stamp mill isn't on that table too, it would have enhanced an already amazing display no doubt!!!

Electric, what you see on the bottom is a drain valve ;)

Bruce did make a few dual-fuel engines though

I think it was fired once, not yet by me. All I have are a couple Mamod wagons that I thought were O-gauge but ended up not being… good thing I save everything 😂
