Great work on this one Ken. It's one of those models that deserves to be on show somewhere when it's finished. I also built this one YEARS ago, (my 'ex' knocked it off a shelf and demolished it) and only a year or so ago I sold an unstarted kit I had. I really regret that now seeing yours. Keep it coming...

You are making a lovely model Ken. I remember a conversion on this forum converting it into a WW1 artillery tractor (apologies that i cannot remember who did that). Been very entertaining watching this come together. Tony Happy Modelling

Ken, only just found this thread, and Wow! For the age of the kit, you are doing an amazing job. The correct background in a picture when she's finished and you'd never know it wasn't full size. The pipework you've added is great, and I love your stated aim of replicating a 'working' engine, not one that's just been repainted and put in a museum. Current Builds
