Did someone mention steam traction engines? I built these metal kits in 1/87 and 1/48 scales.
These pics are for you, Roy.

Outstanding detail work especially on such a small scale!

But the question still applies, Jimster. Think about it.

I'm sure he won't mind such a pleasant visual deviation, Jim. :thumbup: I once had a Mamod steam car: a thing of real beauty. Here's on their traction engines...and now back on track for Paul's Progress!.

No offence, but could we please have a administrator remove these posts about steam engines from this members post about his build [Vintage King Tiger Rebuild ] ,I think it is very disrespectful and I think that some of the members robbed your post which is not allowed and should show some respect as you are a serious tanker. Does any one else feel that way. John.
