Thanks for sharing!
I love how after one lap, you earned the right to turn sepia! (Made me think of the movie Space Balls when they "went plaid,")
Who issued the certificate that you passed your pressure test? Is it from an official government board, or the model railroad club, or local track?
Hi
Great little engine.
I was very fortunate to meet Jack Butler in 2012 at the Hereford Sweetpea Rally. I purchased a clean copy of his book and got him to sign it. I finished my engine in 2012 and haven't steamed it since. The link below will take you to my website and the Sweetpea loco.Practical Engineering
