One for Chuck
a 2ft gauge petrol/kerosene Fordson built by W. Day & Sons, South Melbourne, Victoria, Australia about 1930. Worked at Fairymead Sugar Mill, Queensland til around 1969. Now on display at Illawarra Light Railway, south of Sydney.  Apparently it's a pig to operate, difficult to start, rough riding and sharp on the clutch.

Seems it's been a while. I have been slowly plugging away at the tractor portion of my locomotive. Got some paint on it, it's a mix of Vallejo acrylics applied with an airbrush. Grease and oil with the usual oil paints mixed with fine powdered dirt and/or pigments. I recently got back to it and finished the ignition magneto and its control rods. A mix of 3D printed parts and some simple fabricating. I have almost finished all of the CAD, save the seat and the gas tank end with the lettering. There are a lot of details on this thing.

Wow, what a lot of complicated little details!
