Steve, that is the nicest E101 restoration I have ever seen...better than one I did myself years ago.  I love the base...beats black in my eyes and sort of reminds me of ship's flooring...beautifully done.

Hello Rog thank you thats praise indeed as i am sure i have seen a picture of that lovely E101 restoration you did. have you still got that engine?
I do all my bases in that scribed planking sometimes i use real boards cut to size, this engine runs very well which may be down to the fact that it may have been a non runner for a lot of its life as both inlet and exhaust pipes were blocked with solder and the piston cylinder cover would not allow the piston rod to travel properly so this engine would never have run at in that state...Steve

Steve, I kept that E101 of mine for a number of years, but alas it has gone on to another loving home.
