Beautiful engine !! Did you make the box too ? Love the dovetail design !! Need the obligatory video when you get a chance :)

Pat, I have used the split boot on other cars before. Makes it MUCH simpler to replace the offending boot. Don't have $500 right now. It was a pretty slow day at the stealer last week and seemed to be trolling for work to do. Granted this is a legitimate problem that I need to fix. Mike

I've seen those pictures a few years ago and am still awed by them !! Would love to see what the machines look like nowadays !! Those were the days of the manly-men !!! :p

Yeah, Wow!! As much as I hate going to a stealer, dunno where to find a good independent shop for my 4Runner. Guess I could Yelp it :) Took my Toyota 4Runner in for oil change and they found a leaking CV boot on my front 4-wheel driver side 1/2 shaft. Ok, looked up parts, about $12-$20 for 2...

Just wonderful !! Be great to visit them :)

:bow: Beautiful work !!! Not sure I'd have the patience for that :)

Thanks so much Beagles !! I've seen a number of these before, and now I've got plenty more to check out !! Mike

Great looking engine !! You're hooked now :) Mike

I'm a Sherline user and love all the pictures !! I've still not machined anything serious on my Sherlines and I've had the lathe and mill for 5+ years now. Gives me hope that I can really start using them :) Mike

Wow ! Nice build pix and descriptions :) Video sometime soon ? Mike

Looks like someone kinda rescued it and put it it's pieces somewhat under cover. No boiler though. Cool to see the running model that guy is actually driving !

Yo Marv !! Your services are being requested :p

Ditto on PMR - the 3 or 4 times I've purchased from them, they've always been very pleasant and very helpful !!

That's too bad :(, cause those are wonderful models he's made :) On Sherline's Craftsmanship Museum: http://www.craftsmanshipmuseum.com/Hansen.htm

That's one helluva steam tractor and excellent model ! Here's the text and a few pix from the eBay ad so you can read it after the eBay auction is gone:

Nice collection of boilers !!

I busted up laughing on this one (Ballard Street). Not that ANY of us can relate ..... Rof}
