Thank you

Thanks Jim, such a great performer despite its appearance. It’s probably my favourite engine.

Thanks, it seems to have improved. The gas burner makes for a good steady runs.

They are hypnotic the old twin’s

My favourite Malins era engine. They never disappoint.

Wouldn’t that be fabulous a steam powered search engine. 😂

Thank you, no it is a German Bing 130/272 from around 1912.

Thanks John, it survives and I’m happy that it does.

Thanks so much, tonight will be the turn of the bowman m101.

Thanks John, it’s a charming little thing. I’ve never had one before.

Thank you kindly

Thank you, it’s getting better, few more little jobs to sort. Glad you liked the video.

I have made them before but try Tony Green Steam they do replica burners.

It’s an amazing engine it was found on Facebook marketplace in a poor state but mostly there. They are out there.

Agreed! I try get my kids to engage with tactile things. We enjoy running the Meccano steam models. The Ferris wheel is a firm favourite.

😂 we are personal friends with Will E Eckerslike & Co another stalwart team of half assed engineers.

Thank you, I’m definitely pleased with how this one turned out.

Thanks mate, turned out a treat has this. Finally got around to buying a mini torch. Wish I’d bit the bullet and bought one eons ago. Is yours built yet?

Thank you.

Thank you for your continued support :)

Many thanks for the support it is appreciated :)

A pleasure John :-) it’s not a real one sadly but my homage to it and Malins.

@@astravanmk2 It is a magnificent copy them Liam. Congratulations

Thank you kindly.

Thanks John. :)

Thank you :)

Thanks matey. :)

Thanks John. :) it’s a superb little engine albeit a bit rough.

Thank you very much I love this example. As far as replacement parts go you could try Ian at www.mfsteam.com he makes wonderful replica parts.

Thanks :) still a few tweaks needed but it’s getting there

A pleasure for sure. :)

The MFTwin? I own number 41

@@astravanmk2 Yes, No. 70.

No worries, always nice when people enjoy things as much as I do. All the best, Liam

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it. It’s a lovely old thing.

Hi Tony, yes I believe so, it ended up going to a friend.

steamedup2 yes it is a flyer. Forward running only with no reverse makes it super efficient. The added advantage of a chimney saves everything getting showered in oily condensate.

Charles Miller thanks very much, I’m pleased to own it. The paint and the decal is mint on it. I was a bit apprehensive to run it but I’m glad I did.
