Welcome back with a new project, looking forward to tracking your progress. If possible a little of the backstory to the loco would be interesting. Glad to see covid did not hit you too hard, i myself am on day one of the cough, hope its only a couple of days.

Hi Shawki, My mistake, saw the photo of a part built loco described as a new project and jumped to the wrong conclusion that this was your starting point. Great work as always.

Hi Jim , if my memory is correct I bought my castings from Richardson or Arthur Myer . Must be an English model , that is what their general business was .

Hi Shawki,
Richardson and Arthur Myer would be a while ago now I guess. I got a couple of stationary engines from Arthur.
Cheers,
Jim

Thanks , No not anywhere near the record . I am not competing for it or with anyone .I just do it as hobby & passing time . For the record Barry Potter a member of Orange NSW , Australi has build I think about 56 engines , all of very high quality and highly detailed . He may have the record .
