Profile Information

  • Location
    Oklahoma, aka the boring Wild West
  • Interests
    The Victorian GWR, late LNWR, and railways in general. African steam locomotives, early Asian railways. Currently scratchbuilding a 2 inch gauge freelance GWR style 4-4-0.
    O gauge Bassett Lowke
    O gauge live steam engines
    Ship models
    Cooking & food in general
    Vintage aircraft, particularly flying boats.
    Stationary steam, full size and miniature.

    I’m also one of the youngest horologists (clockmakers) in the world, and that often carries over into my models which are typically in the style of the early live steam models made through the 1840s to the 1870s.

    Victoria Sponge cake and old technical books are also honorable mentions. Bread pudding also deserves a mention.

      Beer??? My kind of delivery! :jester:

      Hmmm, I noticed (just before I hit the "post" button) that the truck is a wind-up, nice. How does it steer, or does it follow a set course depending on the angle of the front wheels?

      Course is depended on the alignment of the front wheels, as you guessed. I find they like turning to the right very much for some reason, I've never been able to find out why.
