Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

Great-grandpa’s auction was in ‘05 and I remember that sound like it was yesterday after hearing it again! I think one of our old friends that bought one of the tractors told us about the bell and speed.

Got me to thinking....it would be fun to hide a tiny bell inside the base of my model version that chimed in opperation under steam. Bruce's version would be better for this as my Art version is sealed from the bottom as they molded the "stoneware" like base to the casting to hold it secure. Have to stare at it for a while, "something" will come to me.
