Hello!

Thanks for the beautiful fotos.

I have a question about the engine named "Colossus" shown on picture 3:
What kind of engine is fitted on this tractionengine? Is ist a tandem-compound?

Many thanks!
Thomas

Great to see that you have kept it as a colonial and not tried to convert it into an engine it never was, which seems to be the norm with "repatriated/removed" engines. I look forward to seeing more photos of it in the future! Top job.
