I didn't think anybody looks at my posts

Don, I'll happily tell you you're wrong :big: - it's just a bit difficult to say something with an open mouth.

You're doing a great job Thm: keep them coming!

Kind regards, Arnold

I have been watching this thread along with many others. I have been noticing the progress and workmanship and it is great. Even though you might wonder if anybody is watching, so far 2044 different times someone has stopped by to have a look. Thanks for taking the time to share your build info and pictures with the forum members. :bow: :bow:

Cheers

Don

I'm another one that has been looking and not saying anything... mostly out of sheer envy at the work you're showing.
Do keep posting your progress.

Cheers, Joe

Great Job Don. I love those traction engines.

I thought most of that noise was the compressor, will be better once you have the regulator rigged up so it can run slower.

Congratulations, thats a big milestone reached.

Keeping you up to date on the build,water pump,steering chain,oil pump and blower valve to make then it's strip down for painting.

I may seem like i can't wait to finish it,but the thing is when a project has been on the go for 7 years it is nice to start somthing new.

Don't forget the boiler cladding best fitted before painting as there is quite a bit of test fitting and you could scratch the paint with it going on & off several times.

[don-tucker]

Yes I had forgotten that,i have the material and the brass bands,not looking forward to that.

Very nice work Don. I have a soft spot for traction engines. I bought the book on building the Minnie many years ago with the idea of starting one but never got around to it. I'll just watch and enjoy yours.
