So.... I take it you are NOT going to remain true to the original, and add a chain drive and electric motor to your model? But rather remain true to the original's spirit?Don

Without the box I'm sure the pipework and other small bits would get banged around in the car, so well worth the time to make the box.

Though, not nearly as heavy as the pumping station you recently completed, I'm sure! Kim
It's just a fact of life that the availability of training Steam Engineers to a Certified level is ever diminishing So rather than rip the stream engine out, sent it to a Museum and hook it up to an elective drive, think laterallyOne could only hope that the Management Project Team maintain their plan to the end and include the retention of the viewable Steam engine, and with some smart engineering have the steam engine rotating when the vessel is underway Derek
