Awesome Nick!
Looks like Mitchell had a great Birthday.

Happy Birthday Mitchell, you are spot on Nick , with it being as much fun to push as to steam (for a 5 yr. Old).

Happy birthday from me too and it's fun to see your son so happy. When I was a little boy I could only dream of such a beautiful truck.

I would’ve been in 7th heaven if I had gotten that for my 5th birthday in 1974!

That's a nice looking truck. I'll bet he's chomping at the bit.
I gave it to him in “as arrived” condition so he’s been cleaning dust out of all the nooks and crannies with a Kleenex :D It has a vaporizing burner and overflow plug, so it was made between ‘72-‘76, not too bad looking for nearly 50 years old! These really are the best model to give to a little boy because they can have nearly as much fun driving them around and loading the box without steaming them.

I asked my son what he wanted for his birthday, and he FINALLY asked for his own steam engine 😂 Went on ebay to see what was available and spotted a newly listed Mamod SW1 with a cheap BIN. As soon as we get a 30˚-ish day I will get a video of him driving it out on the deck…
