Her is a photo of my Ruston along side an exhibitors 6" version at Welland. Amazing how scale works. One does not look twice as large as the other!

This was my first time at Welland, and it was a brilliant day. The weather was great and there was plenty of engines which I hadn't seen before.
Heres some more pictures.

Theres plenty more to come.

That's exactly why I hate people describing 6" as "half size" when it isn't. The maths works out that the full size engine occupies 8 times as much space in terms of volume as the 6" model. I know full well that my 6" Burrell is nothing like half size.

Nice to see it illustrated with a photo though Colin.

Your engine is real credit to you. I'm looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.
