Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

I listed this engine with lineshaft and a press in the for sale but nobody want it.

So I will try to restore.

I am thinking to repaint to how I like to see it,  ie dark green unlined base, black firebox, ladders and chimney with black base to engine stand with green inset panels and red flywheel.

NOTE - unable to get picture to load but there is a picture of it in the for sale section. When I load it it keeps saying this site cannot be reached ?

Kudos to you for choosing a custom color. There are plenty of them in original colors. It only makes sense to bring engines back to original colors if the original colors are rare.

Thank you for the thumbs up on the colour scheme. Just wish I could get the picture to load.

I cannot post pictures via mobile view. I must use desktop view...

Will try again as per  classix's  suggestion.

No problem restoring this one ..... just a quick wipe down with an oily rag, and she'll be good as new.   


NOT!!!


Keep us posted as you work on this one, and give us a photo or two along the way so we can see how you're progressing. Looks like a worthwhile resto project from here!
