Steve, unlike yourself, I have turned my collection a number of
times over the years. Last count I had sold more than 100
pieces...numbers go up and down with time and interest. I
believe I have about 27 total now and that has been stable for
nearly a year!

a limb...i have 40 + engines and all except 6 are in my little
steam room where i squeeze in around Guns.... Swords...model
electric train sets... and other collectibles...something has to

Thank you Gil i have been waiting for one of these to turn up
for ages, so i am glad it turned out well...here is a picture of
the engine fitted with a steam control valve which makes running
it much more enjoyable.
I have been running the engine so much it needs a complete clean
up ::)...Steve

Spectacular work, Steve. And it looks beautiful with your
signature plank floor base. You have yet again rescued and
revived what was surely DOA. Bravo!

Hello Benny i thought it was u/s when i first opened the box but
on inspection everything was there except a couple of bits, i
then realised i had a bargain on my hands with a bit of hard
work.
The planking is really so i can run many different engines and
boilers together and make them look as if they all part of the
same diorama in a simple way of course, an example would be
running my Stuart steam plant which has oak plank boarding as
seen in the pic below....i could add the Bowman E101 running as
part of the same set up and it would look like it was meant to
be there...Steve
