Hi from the UK,
 I am the wrong side of 70, I have a 7x14 mini lathe and a Seig 1XL milling machine, I am retired and interested in model engineering after being in aerospace engineering all my working life, I am just about to start building the 1" Minnie traction engine.

Hi, it is a working 1" scale model of a traction engine, if you put 1" Minnie traction engine into YouTube you can see them running.
  Thanks.
