1" Minnie Traction Engine build.

A 10-year project to build a 1" Minnie traction engine from the L. C. Mason book. All parts made from scratch and just a few castings like the saddle and cylinder block, valve chest, and flywheel. The wheels use laser cut spokes on aluminium rims. The plan is to show how much work is actually required to build one of these engines, just patients are required I had no formal engineering training or that much previous experience apart from the machines and the desire to try.
