Fabulous model, beautifully made and presented.  :ThumbsUp: :ThumbsUp:

I am sure I have seen a casting kit for this engine on sale somewhere.

Can Jo or anyone point me in the right direction.

Thank you Achim

What I need now is another distraction from the Jupiter and Mercedes W165. But you have got to admit, it would be a beautiful engine to build.

Mike, think of it as fast build/light relief from building your other 2 longer term engines ;)

Hi Jo

You have almost convinced me. But.... But after the engine, there is the chassis and wheels

And my good lady gets to do the dolly

Hello Jo

Do you by chance have this casting set in your collection? :stir:

You are going to do the same for the Merc and the Jupiter as well are you Mike  ::)


I don't have that one yet but someone is recalculating how long it should take me to make all the model engines in his casting collection based on the progress on the No 1 and he reckons he needs more casting sets   :pinkelephant:

Mike I have seen a 1:1 scratch built one on the same forum if you really want a challenge :LittleDevil:

As I have said in other threads buying from Torsten can be a bit of a pain and I'm sure Jo would not want to pay the extra fees onto of the list price.

No more castings for me for a while as I have a new machine arriving soon that I need to accommodate and learn how to use as it has no handwheels :naughty:
