As a scratch builder myself, I deem your work clearly first rate. Applaud, applaud!

Do you have any scale drawings for the traction engine as I would love to build one!!!

THE OLD LANCER

DaveS · Lieutenant

No, I scaled it from photographs and some old drawings that I found on the internet (https://archive.org/stream/cu31924022808731#page/n251/mode/2up).

It is not very accurate but I think it does look the part.

Southeast Finecast do produce some models in 1/32nd scale - white metal and expensive (http://www.sefinecast.co.uk/).
