I have a Twin Cylinder Doll that has been in the for sale area for nearly a month with no interest.

I have decided to gift it to someone who has submitted an entry for our new Engine of the Month competition.

Right after we we draw the five pieces from the hat to go into the poll and recorded them, they will be added back to the hat for one more draw. The winner of this draw will receive this Twin Cylinder Doll.

It is missing the burner, needs some restoration and the chimney doesn't look original.

On an air test, it ran fine.

Here it is:

To those among us who haven't entered... Please consider a submission for Engine of the Month.

There are about 3 days remaining for accepting entries.
I have a dozen entries so far and remember 5 will be selected by luck of the draw and we can vote on the final 5.

Then all names go back in the hat for a drawing to select one instant winner for the Twin Cylinder Doll Steam Engine pictured in this thread.

Bring it on!
