That wallpaper is a surprise on this engine. I've got the largest & smallest sizes & they both have the Blued pressed square Tin sheet on top of wood. Got other Plank items with wallpaper on base though. Congratulations, what are the base dimensions out of curiosity?

Nick....Christmas in March :)
I think it's Christmas every month here Jim ;) and I've gotten really good at sneaking engines in the house. The best thing about having a variety of engines is that it's very difficult to spot new arrivals ;D

Ah; I love receiving packages like that :-)
Will you tear the Cosmos down to cosmetic atoms; or will it do with a oily rag ? :-)
This will mainly be a careful cleaning and the only work that will ever be done in my hands is to fit some new wire for the missing railing, re-attatch the steam line and hopefully find the missing boiler fittings or have replacements made... I will have to be very careful with the baseplate as it is basically wallpaper. I'm very happy that the original governor survived shipping.
I will post better, more detailed pictures, but if you look closely by the flywheel on the bearing block, you will see that one of the oilers still has its original press fit oiler cap (can't be too many of those left in the wild...)
Interestingly, Danny has just picked up this same model, I believe one size smaller, so hopefully I can give him some helpful pictures/measurements

Big box for the size of the engine, but at least it arrived safely.
