Hey Nick .... if you ever decide to name this beautiful beast, I'd consider the name "Manitoba" as being quite apropos, and I'll bet you could get David (vpro) to make you up some really nice signboards for it.
Or you could name it "Michael's Engine" to go with "Michael's Museum" but that would probably start a family feud. :)
I think "Manitoba" is a much better idea Nick.
The engine does already have a builder's plate and I like the idea, but it was actually built in Saskatchewan
and Charlie, I think "Nick's Engine" sounds much better than "Michael's Engine"

Awesome Nick!
Thanks for the great pics.
Have you tested it on air yet?
Not yet, need to fix the connection for the pressure gauge and the whistle as they've been knocked loose over the years, as it was displayed at a show many times.

That biggie is an amazing addition Nick, am really looking forward to see it going.
Love the group photo...
Knowing the size of a Mamod TE, very nicely puts them all in perspective for me.

Beautiful engine Nick. When you compare it to the others you realize just how big it really is - well done!
Yes, it looks so small in the first picture, and I cannot believe how small it makes my Maxitrak look. If that little thing can pull me, I can't wait to see how much power this one has 8)

HahaSure did, but the Mamod really, for me at least, shows just how big and impressive this Case of yours is.
Did you spy the other 2 miniatures?
I'll have to do a Google and see if Australia brought any Case TE's into the country back in the heydey of steam.

Give us a top view shot Nick :) :) :)
Will do Jim, and hopefully I'll get a lot of others for you too ;)

Gawd that's a good looking engine.
You are gonna have to eat your wheaties just to be able to pick it up!
That should be a blast to run.
It's a bit heavy/bulky to move around in the house at 150 lbs, and I'm only 160 :D
I can't wait to light the first fire! ;D

Some of you have seen this in my "Trip to Manitoba" thread and when we get some green grass and I'm feeling stronger, I'll carry this one back outside for some better pictures

And with a Mamod TE1... if you look close, you'll see two miniatures that snuck into the photo ;)
