Re: Renault FT 1:6
I might have missed this, but what does it weigh?
Looks absolutely fantastic in the sunlight, and I guess it's small when you've got a behemoth locomotive beside you...poor little thing. He'll get boiler-envy!

The Master Cutler is absolutely beautiful. I'm a steam tester for my model boat club so get to play with steam engines as frequently as I can but I particularly like an LNER locomotive. I remember seeing it on a YouTube video here and thinking what a stunning locomotive it is:

Quintessential English that is !!
Ive only ever seen a custom trailer with a model Loco in it on the road in New Zealand years & years ago. He was an English toolmaker.
Fantastic work and thanks so much for sharing an insight into your world.

Ooh, I'm famous, I've not seen that video, it shows a typical public running day. I built that loco about 30 years ago . It started off as a B1 class tender engine , but I rebuilt it as a freelance tank engine design about 5 years ago, it makes it easier to drive and fire. If you're stretching over a tender to reach the controls for 3 hours it tends to make your back ache. The short bunker is nicer for driving. Ive built a few more steam engines since then (including a 1/2 scale traction engine that I registered for the road). I must have driven the loco in the video hundreds of miles over the years at Hove Park and hauled many hundreds of passengers.SteamBoatWillie wrote: ↑Sat Apr 13, 2024 10:27 pm The Master Cutler is absolutely beautiful.

That makes sense, I tried to identify it and failed miserably so I'm releaved it is a freelance engine!MikeN wrote: ↑Sun Apr 14, 2024 6:28 amOoh, I'm famous, I've not seen that video, it shows a typical public running day.
