Fantastic!

Inspires me to finish my MHB Topaz (like that's ever going to happen...).

Excuse my ignorance but what engine's in that?

Thanks,

Mark

It's the Borderer 5/8th"  bore and stroke.
I built it using stock material as a first venture into model engineering. Would never have been possible without the advice and help from a fellow modeller.
A big part of the fun in running steam is the attention one gets from the general public.
Every week that my fellow steam heads go down to the lake to sail people come over to ask questions great fun.
