It isn't a 4RT, but the next best thing, a 1908 Fowler k5 steam ploughing engine. It is my dads hobby, there is another one behind the camera in pieces.

you should have a go at driving that thing, I don't know why thay call it a traction engine, it gets stuck if you go through a cow pat, and it does't respond to the steering atall. Last time I drove it was in Scarborough and I took out a kerb because I couldn't see where I was going ;) and it doesn't like going up hills atall, and you can only go downhill in reverse.

FIX-IT is getting it steamed up tomorrow for the boiler test, come and have a drive.

Damn fine question :hyper:

I think someone has been "inventive" with the routing. The front stopper is very grabby and the throttle is stiff too. Will be sorting a few things out as soon as, but apparently i'm not allowed in the garage till the morning :D
