Oh wow Bill, that is a beautiful engine and a great runner. She turns over on the second pull.  I like........! Now I am getting the urge to build one I have too much on my plate now. But it was great to follow along with you, thanks for posting.

Wow Bill, that is great and she took next to no time from start to finish :ThumbsUp:. Maybe I need to make something smaller or faster for my next engine.

Hi Bill,

What a fantastic job on your Poppin' and you did it in a short time.  It makes me glad I mentioned it to you back in October.  Now I have your build log to help me complete mine.

Great workmanship and a great runner also.

Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Thanks to all for the kind comments.  After fiddling around with it a bit more, trying to get it to run equally well in either direction and a few other tweaks, i am calling it finished now.

Dale....please keep me posted on your progress as well...looking forward to seeing it run too!!

Bill
