old modeller

G'day all
Just a quick introduction, I have been modelling for longer than I care to
remember. I hail from sunny Queensland in Australia.
Two recent models completed are a Bolton No 7 and a beam engine Mary.
My current project is a Westbury diagonal paddle engine.

Welcome Imation - you find plenty of us Aussies around this place.

Nice job on the No.7 - I do like to see handrails on models! Thm:

"I have been modelling for longer than I care to remember"

You are in good shape yet Imation. It's tohse of us who have been at it longer than we CAN remember that have a problem.

Seriously though, Welcome and nice work. I hope you show us some more of it, both finished and in progress.

Thanks to all who replied to my introduction, and many thanks for the kind words re the Bolton No 7.
Here is a picture of the beam engine Mary, to keep down costs only the cylinder and valve chest
was imported from the UK the rest was fabricated (the flywheel is actually a Bolton No7 only a little thinner).
Regards Mike (Imation)

Hi Dave
No I dont have any build photos of the beam engine
I do have some of my current project, the Westbury
diagonal paddle engine, been at it for about eight weeks now
and it's starting to come together.
