Steam Launch
3 1/2” Gauge Masie Steam Locomotive
This engine was my first attempt at building a locomotive after finishing my traction engines and I found some parts of the construction a bit different to building traction engines. I have a book for the construction of this engine by LBSC the designer of the model which helped me understand how things fitted together. The copper boiler is professionally made I fitted a stainless steel super heater, injector, axle pump, hand pump in tender, and steam brake.
It was an interesting model to build but I still prefer Traction Engines
