Dave, I am thinking about one that's been on the list for a while now...Jerry Howell's Victorian Stirling. I have a couple of parts made from several years ago  which then got sidetracked by the Brigg's project. I can use another stirling in the collection, but I'm also getting itchy to make another IC as well. I will look  around Cabin Fever and see what if anything strikes my fancy, and my budget :)

Ah, so many choices, the Victorian is a nice engine; it will be fun to see which way you jump.

Very nicely done Bill! Like everyone mentioned, I also really like the color & the pin striping makes it look quite elegant.

 Looking forward to your next project.

Nice  8)

Bill, any chance of posting a picture of it next to something we know the size of so we can understand how big it is?

Functional art, Bill. The whole package turned out very well. The brass lagging cover and the striping adds a nice touch of bling. Paul

The engine looks great finished, and sits so comfortably on the wooden plinth. Congratulations! Cheers, Hugh.

Professor Leroy,  now that's one pretty little Southern Belle. I love the colors and striping and the stripes on the flywheel are just ducky.  The brass lagging gives it  just the right subtle amount of bling.  Hmm,  wonder how some of Crueby's fake rivets would look on the lagging  :stir:, just saying . Again,  great job :ThumbsUp:.. I'd better go, DOG said he needed to go and hide my Easter eggs. I know he's lying,  he'll leave me something in the grass, but, I'm betting it ain't eggs  :lolb: :lolb:..

Happy Easter,
Cletus

Again, many thanks everyone for the comments, much appreciated!!  Jo, here you go..a picture with a 6" caliper along the side and for Stan, the mini-mic along the rear edge :) Hope that helps.

Hi Bill,

Truly magnificent build and there is absolutely nothing not to really like about it, from the wood planking through the colour choice and to the pin striping, everything seems to work together very well.

Mine is on hold until late summer due to work but I will keep referring to this build log for inspiration and guidance.

With best regards,

Mike

That's a beautiful engine, Bill!

Slim, and elegant, in it's colour and striping. Set off, by the perfectly finished woodwork.  :praise2: :praise2:
