Except for my lay up through health problems you may have noticed the lack of projects from me well this is what I have been working on.

The completed Prime mover is now finished. This took longer than expected due to the health problems, but I was not going to give in. I had a rough count and I think there are 9 or 10 different woods in the build. I did not want to use any stains or paints that is why I use as many different coloured woods where I can.

Don't ask how long it took as I don't keep a record of that side of things. I enjoyed the build and just have to say the glue on the wheels has not even dried when I took the photo's. I hope I have managed to get as much in as possible with the photo's

It measures 15 3/4" long X 5 1/2" wide X 7 3/4" to the top of the stacks.

Now that is very nice, I can see why it took you some time to finish it.

Is there a trailer in the pipeline for it?

I can only echo Dave comments.

Hope you are back to full health.
I do not think therefore I do not am.

No trailer planned the plans were sent to me so that I could do a build and write an article for the woodworker magazine

Nice job. I remember years ago the Blizzard books where plans were available for stuff like this. I seem to remember there was one for an American style fire engine complete with a vast extending ladder - Rob

I think I have one of his in my library a good starter book if I remember correctly.

My next toy/model is an American WW2 half track which need all the track links making so should take a little time. But that is after I have done some turning.
