A big thank you to Gil & Simone
« on: August 06, 2019, 03:01:21 am »
A big thank you to both Gil & Simone for their generosity of the engine that they gave away as a prize for the inaugural Office of Steam forums Engine of the Month competition.
Over the moon to win this, thank you both again.

As you can see below, Gil's packing is second to none. There was no chance that this engine was going to suffer any transit damage!

Very nice Jim and well done Gil & Simone!

Hope to find an engine like that myself someday. Love the extra details like the top of the sight glass and top of governor. And it's such a nice/compact design for a twin  8)

Can't wait for the video  ;)

Hi Jim, We are glad to see it arrived there in the same condition it left here. Great to see it running on live steam, too..!!!
