good looking beauty shots,, the dark background ones look great .. a black backdrop cloth could work really well..
More really fabulous work. You should be elevated to the status of a national treasure. Get the Craftsmanship Museum to finance a west coast tour of your projects (including the carvings) so I (and a bunch of drooling hobbyists I know) can come and light incense, kowtow, and prostrate ourselves before your person. Well, maybe that's a bit over the top but we'd pour lots of beer into the sacred chalices.

Chuckle.I grew up back there. I've walked and fallen and slipped in snow. I spent four miserable years in Boston getting an education. I've smelled the East. I've been robbed there. I've skidded on ice there. There isn't the remotest chance in hell I'll ever go there again except maybe to get off the plane, empty my bladder, and continue to the few remaining civilized parts of the world. Kalifornia may be a liberal hellhole but it's got warmth, good wine, and winsome beauties on the beach volleyball courts. Now ask me how I really feel.
In all of the video 'footage'.....I cannot determine what the Grey floor covering is?.......hope it's resistant to the odd steam oil drip ...and that driver is getting extremely close to that rocking chair Absolutely brilliant Derek PS....the rough sawn timber grain/roughness in the green timber side boards of the table tray are very realistic
That was another question....as the Green paint certainly did not cover up the roughness of the timber
Hi Chris, great to see it running on steam after your long winter. You must be really chuffed with those first puffs!I has been another of your amazing builds which, like so many others, I have followed from the beginning. Interesting that the company that built that truck so long ago is still a big player in building transport vehicles even today.You might need a bigger fuel tank for the bigger burner, that box in the back would look even better if it was a bit bigger anyway, so plenty of room for a larger fuel tank. In the mean time, is it worth starting with hot water to give a bit more steaming time? Is there radio control (and reverse gear) coming next?Congratulations,MJM460
Nice to see the Mann running on steam. Great job, you’ve gotta be happy with that.Aren’t your elves gonna be disappointed when they try to tap those barrels?
What a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. And you don't have to bother with track work!
