I'd struggle to build the small reversing engine :big:
and whats nerdy about it ?

The Person who built that was Karl Polhman. We've coresponded with each other a couple of times.

I had a post with a bunch of pictures about him a while back...check it out.

I wish I was 1/10 as talented and prolific!

Dave and Peatoluser,

A search for "Karl Polhman" turned up bupkis here. I would be interested to know where these models are displayed? Thanks for any additional info.

Cheers
Phil

I remember your post steamer IIRC that display contains around 12 separate steam engines of various sizes most are multi cylinder.

I had no idea that steamer had already posted this wonderful model , but I'm glad I've resurected the thread for those who don't surf the archives (guilty as charged :-[).
I did find this other thread showing some of his work

outstanding craftsmanship indeed

Oh no worries Peat...Glad Karl gets his work noticed. He is truly talented.
