Nick:

Has it ever been fired?

Do you have a cart for the driver to sit on?

It was finished some time around 1967 and was fired 2 times on coal, but only air since then. The builder died in '92 and I believe it has been sitting untouched since about 2002. The engine has been shown many times at the Estevan Model Engineering Show, and now that I have my passport, I might have to make the trip up there in October

I do not yet have a cart, but I like the simple tractor seat and two wheel design on Ron Colonna's video. I'm sure you will remember his beautiful 1" Case from NAMES, probably the nicest one I have seen
