Hi Chris,
Not really - I don't want to add to the conversion debate... There is a "Garrett 4CD Showmans" that is actually brand new and powered by a 2CV petrol engine. I have seen photos of it and if you are familiar with this type of engine you can see that some parts don't quite look right. It is very good - and if that's what the owner wants that is fair enough - I suspect it fools a number of people but it is not for me. I am left wondering what the world of steam engines is all about for some people - shiny paintwork, polished brass but no sense of history... But that is just my opinion - not right or wrong so don't shoot me down folks! Michael PS just read the reply from Mark - posted while I was typing mine!

The builder had no plans. He worked exclusively on the old Bandai kit, which if I remember right was 1/16 scale! Sláinte! George. |

It's a good way to Road there! I look forward to the report on that one! :-)

Many thanks for the honors, John. But you can slow down with your planning for Dordt in Stoom, as this show is only every second year, so next in 2016 !!! Slainte, George. |
