Hi there, all,
Well, my neighbour, Simon, has been busy and has built a trailer and water dandy to tow behind his engine. (I've been helping him in a very small way.) Some of you may remember that I posted some photos of the engine a couple of years ago. His latest work has produced a trailer and a water dandy, generally to the same notional scale as the engine. The trailer is slightly shorter than a traditional living van would be - this ensures that it will fit on the back of his Dodge pick-up so he can take the whole train to rallies in one journey.
Anyway, as Bob would say, photos:
and there's the train, loaded-up and ready to roll:
I'm sorry that the underside of the trailer is deep in shadow - I took the photos in bright sunlight. I haven't been able to crop them either. Since I 'upgraded' my Windows 7 to 64-bit my old faithful MicroSoft Photo Editor doesn't work anymore and I haven't yet got up-to-speed with 'Contrast & Brightness' in any of the 64-bit photo editing software.
If anyone wants more information on the engine and can't find the earlier thread, comment on this one and I'll try to post a resume.
P.S.: I've amended this post to delete the links to PhotoBucket and attached the photos directly.

Beautiful I'd love to have something like that to go for coffee on!

I like the barrel.... :beer:

Very nice job.
I was wondering about the water trailer. When full that barrel will be very heavy. Is the frame up to it ?

It's thirsty work running a steam engine. That barrel is full of Harvey's Best Bitter for the Engineman not water for the Engine :lol:

It's roughly half scale so each gallon of water only weighs 1¼ pounds! :lol: :lol: :lol: :nrocks: :nrocks: :nrocks:

It doesn't show in any of the photos but there's a plaque on the rear end of the barrel that reads 'BRANDY'! :lol: :lol: :lol:
