  • He who dies with the most unfinished projects wins. I think I just went a few steps up on the podium. S'okay, I'll get some of them done, and this one is definitely worth doing. It might be a while before I can afford to get to it, but get to it I will!

    It was a steal, and everything which came in the bargain was icing on the cake. Wonderful acquisition.

    So happy this project found its way to you instead of getting parted out or cashed for scrap value! It gives a man pause to consider what will happen to his life's works when he moves on. I'm sure the original creator of this project would've been very pleased.

      @@MrTapanes I feel the same way. I have a soft spot in my heart (or head, remains to be seen...) for unfinished projects. I wish I could know more of thr history, whether this was a new build or a refurbishment. There doesn't appear to be any wear on the moving parts, so I'm leaning towards new build.

      @oddduckfoundry8223 Hmm. If I recall correctly, the Lilly Belle(s) were built from the plans of a real 4-4-0 locomotive. That's why the workmanship is so good.
      Those plans likely are public domain due to age. Even if the big mouse had rights, they probably lost them like they did the original Steam Boat Willie.
