Sissons portable in 2 inch scale re Haining

[JasonB]

Davy there is a picture part way down the following page. Not the most attractive of portables. Looks a bit like the early Seeking portables

Potty as you can see from the above the Sissons can be done by fabrication, you don't really need castings. But Graham at Brunell Steam models is supposed to have patterns, try your luck with him.

Have a look at this thread on HMEM as well

I've got to agree with Jason... "Not the most attractive of portables."

I would even be so bold as to say that was a masterpiece of understatement! However, beauty is obviously in the eye of the beholder.

Regards,

Thank you all for your suggestions which I will follow up.
I am most grateful to the forum member who put all the articles on CD and sent them - much appreciated.
Doug from Australia. Agree with you. It is not a pretty engine, but it is different, and for me, that is the challenge.

There is a good reason for that.

Sissons took over Seekings, even operating out of the same address, and selling the same engine badged up as a Sissons.

There are three (?) Seekings Portables in Australia, and at least one Sissons of the same pattern not so far from where I am writing this, but the semi portable version with no wheels.

I like the Mamod wheels on the version in your link.
