Mini steam Roller

[Barney]

Talking to some "Steam Buffs" ( that's people who live and sleep anything steam ) They all say that the talented person who built this little gem back in 1933 was todays equivalent to a "boys Toy " and would not have the weight to roll much at all especially with spoked wheels fitted to this little machine
So I have gone more for the typical type of solid rollers often hollow and filled with water !! ( a thing I did not know )
So A few photos of progress

Roller and wheel construction  Acrylic tube and some modified tank wheels
coal bunker/ box now fitted - Chain case trial fit and rear wheels - water tank of the welded type as the prototype
rivets just to give it that steam look !

Most adequate, and the rear roller inserts create a very good impression. -- Russ

Don't you mean "IF he completes it"? By now we know he ain't building models when he's standing in the corner. -- Russ
