New Steamy 1/10 scale Burrell

[themole]

As it comes under the Steamy heading, here are some pictures of my new 1/10 scale live steam, Markie, Burrell Special Scenic Showmans Traction Engine. Gas fired and bought from Station Steam. The engine has been fired only few times, and is, as new. Makes a change from the electric tramway. The red Burrell is a full-size special scenic to compare. Alyn

That's nice Mole- I often look on their website, looking at stuff I want but can't afford! I used to be involved with 2 full size rollers - miss it!

I used to take part in the Birmingham Museum of Science Traction Engine Rally, with a varity of live steam items, but the museum is now closed replaced by the "Think Tank!" Alyn

That's gorgeous. I think road steam fascinates me even more than rail steam!

Maxitrak engines are tiny George, well i think so, certainly compared to other locomotives running on 7 1/4" lines. Not a negative, just an observation

Lovely stuff. A 3" or 4" scae traction engine is high on my wish list if I ever;
a. get enough money
b. get a house with enough space!
