Two beautiful builds. I love the tug engine, 2 feed pumps, full reversing gear, return flue boiler, it has it all.

Some beautiful model engineering!

It takes a lot of intestinal fortitude to take on a big multi-year project like that lovely traction engine.

That Marshall is, is, is, indescribable. I'm at a loss for words.

Michael , the attention to detail on your lovely Marshall traction engine is remarkable, one of the nicest traction engines I have ever had the pleasure to view. An 8 year dedication to a steam project is something I hold in very high regard , well done Sir !

Thank you everybody for your kind comments on my models.

And a addition for my Table.
The engine is made from castings which are available in the UK

I like your Boat and your Marshall Traction engine.
I have made many Steam engines from scratch but never such a complex
Building of a Tractor. There are many issues to manage -
the wheels, the boiler, the engine, the firebox and and....

Congrats, Arnold

Arnold, Thank you for your comments, I have to say that I didn't build the boiler it is a steel boiler and the regulations are strict in the UK regarding steel boilers, they have to be welded by a Coded welder and all steel in it's construction has to have documentation paper work so the boiler is a professional build.

The engine is a easy steamer, powerful but nice to drive.

Michael.

Thank you for replay - I know the Boiler's need official proof - I have two Burrells 3" and 4 1/2"
and a Foster 4". I bought them in working order long time ago and make only Service and Repair.
