There was a comment on the first video by a chap called Rob Leigh who said he had a version of this engine where the cylinder is on the other side of he boiler. So it looks like there are two more version of the Minor 1. Link to Rob's video czcams.com/video/gNegr64ZwbQ/video.htmlsi=N5lMDYgjP0uL37OG

Not many toys as good as that after 70 odd years. Great little engines I have quite a few in my collection.

[@RetroSteamTech]

Yep, they are great little engines. Worth spending the time on I think.

Excellent job Alan. Runs perfectly. I like the flywheel. Would love to find one of these. Do be careful with that wire wheel Alan with your bare hands. Take care mate. Cheers Nobby

[@RetroSteamTech]

Thanks Nobby. I know I should use gloves when using the wire wheel but I've polished off so many bits of skin from my fingers I barely even feel it any more 🤣🤣 Cheers, Alan.
