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

I also had an entry in the contest but in all honesty your model is exceptional and fully deserves the first place this month.
It will be a pleasure watching it as a banner every time I visit the forum.

 Thank you very much. I've always like this engine so when Gil put out the call I looked in an old cabinet that's 2 feet from me and grabbed this engine. I've never Fired it mostly because of the Japanned finish, but I might ? It does look like its was fired before. It's just a simple engine with no pump or governor but has clean lines and the condition is fine. The Japanned boiler is what make it with the fine lines trimming it.
