My favourite iteration of John Bull when they put a cab on her

The John Bull has special meaning for me...when I modeled the Pennsylvania RR...found the John Bull was the first to run on their tracks....Pennsy was just a concept then....So I can appreciate all aspects of that Engine


Raw and Naked



Or partially dressed...this is the version I'm most used too

What's interesting is how the passenger cars looked like modified Cattle Carriers

Just had to push my eyes-springs back in their sockets Those are exquisite models. Here's a link to a working steam model from Mamod; and it's radio controlled ..I can already hear the zimmer frames clumping down to the local model shop!

Hello
Really pleased you liked the pics I have thousands of Gauge1 and other gauges,(Pictures!)
I myself was a member of the Gauge1 society in the UK off and on over a number of years and even more so with the 16mm NGM,just love garden railways especially 16mm/& G

cheers Steve

No, Steve..in my dreams, I'd like to claim that as my handiwork, but I just found it on the Net. If you google 'steam powered tank' you'll come across the original link. If I had the time, and the workshop, I'd love to attempt a project like that...
as I did once build a small working steam engine at school...eons ago. Then I moved into the Arts side of academic life. By the way, I saw the misplaced post that mentioned your health, and it's impact on your hobbies...and, I imagine the general quality of life. Well, I hope it improves for you very soon. This forum is also a good distraction when you're not feeling on top of the world, so to speak. I myself am trying to learn to walk again after a bad double ankle break before Christmas, and the limitations a lack of mobility imposes are really frustrating...and scary, sometimes....but not as scary as that stinking fish (in tins) you eat in Scandinavia! I went Iceland once, and got a whiff of it...once was enough, more could be fatal!
and here for Alpha and the general behoof:

Hello Reg
I will send you a quart of Lutefisk Dried Fish,soaked,and put in to caustic soda... and the worst taste I have ever experienced ,I like to give Norwegian cuisine a chance so in my 15 years here I have tried almost everything
including Rudolf,Elk, but not whale on principal!

but other than the extreme foods it is very nice

cheers Steve
