Here's three Photos  of the progress that I've made on the second engine. The two engines still need the governors and belts.

Thanks guys for your comments. I would also like to thank Davide the owner of the prototype for his help with photos and measurements.

The red engine is painted with Floquil Engine Black and Caboose Red out of a rattle can with a Dullcote top finish. The green engine was also painted with Floquil Engine Black and Caboose Red. I wanted a shiny finish so I used a Gloss cote for the top finish. For the green paint I used Humbrol metallic mist green #50. I mixed the paint 50/50 with lacquer thinner.  This paint is very shiny so I used Dullcote for the top finish. Primers.. no primer for the engine black. I used engine black under the  caboose red, and Mr White Surfacer 1000 under the green.

Here's two photos of the Red Tozer on my five ton truck.

While the work is satisfactory I would be more impressed were it constructed entirely of tea leaves. -- ssuR

Astounding work as always Gordon... well done.

@Russ: you do realize that by making such a statement, he will no doubt now build something absolutely remarkable out of tea leaves just to put you in your place...

The Romei...Here's three photos of an Italian portable steam engine. This may be my next project. If I decide to built this engine I will start a new thread.

Now I really like that ............. especially the construction of the main wheels and spokes
