Hmmmmmmm niccccce lookin' plant there Nick :)
I do like the look of that brass pulley.
-
While I do like the extra 3-grooved pulley and will use it when running a genny, I like the brass pulley on better. I also think the red pulley needs to be repainted maroon to match... it looks good on the green engines, but on here I don’t think it looks quite right...
Here’s the brass pulley

Very nice acquisition Nick!! ;D
The Cotswold plants are very well proportioned and run as good as they look!!!
-
Thanks Jan :) Hope to add more from Cotswold Heritage someday...
Would be cool, some amazing engines in their line.
Haven´t stopped drooling, since Knut showed of his Vulcan beam plant 7 or 8 years ago 8)

Thanks Daniel, I’ve been trying to find a few plants like these that are easy to take to shows and keep running all day. :)

Did not remember this Brand - it came formerly from REEVES Model Engineers
Arnold
I know there is a connection with Reeves, but wasn’t sure what it exactly was... I don’t think Cotswold Heritage is in business anymore, but I may be wrong?
Thanks for that picture I will have to save that.
I’m glad the engine in your link is sold long ago so I don’t have to try to get it 😂

Absolutely great Steam Plant in perfect condition.

Arnold
Thanks Arnold, the first operator burnt his fingers, that’s why he was saying it’s better with your shirt on your hand :D
A very nice addition Nick, congratulations!

Very nice plant Nick , those Cotswold engines are great runners , I had a Gryphon twin that I kick myself for ever selling off.
And to this day I kick myself for not buying it Bruce.
Kicking myself too! 😂 I remember that engine well, but just to torture you some more Jim 😂

That really is a very very nice plant Nick and travelled very well, the Cotswold base sets it the engine and boiler off really well and the boys have given it their collective approval :)
Some TLC and it will come up wonderfully. That was a quick delivery!
I have always wanted a Perseus and have passed on a few stand-alone engines, but having the plant all on a compact base is a very nice bonus ;D Thanks again for talking me into it :D
Very quick, 5 days from Down Under, but fast shipping doesn’t come cheap! 😬
-
Good idea.
-
That'll cleanup and smooth out nicely. Did all your snow melt?
Not quite yet, but won’t have much after tomorrow... I blow half the yard into a pile for the kids to play in and it’s nice because it gives us a dry spot in the yard right away in the spring.

Was a bit stiff as I don’t think it’s been ran in awhile. It needs a light cleaning, has some steam oil residue all over and the flywheel has some light surface rust. It got too dark for any more video and it was getting too cold for my gas mix, so had to call it quits for the evening... Will try and get more video tomorrow afternoon as it looks like another nice day...
Had to take the chuff enhancer out right away as it was getting the neighbor dog pretty excited 😂 Has a nice chuff without one installed.
