That’s cool, Mathew! I used a similar technique for my steam tractor,

Thanks Ross, I actually did a quick brickshelf search just before building mine,
and used yours as a starting point. In fact I’d picked up the larger wheels from
Bricklink over a year ago, inspired by an your’s or another steam tractor I’d
seen on lugnet. So mine is an extention of your work.

I think that both of these look very good...but more like 6” models or so
than full sized...
is my 4” model.

James, that’s a nice toy you have there.
Yes, I agree, my MOC is too small. Ideally I’d like to use a 3 stud diameter
boiler, but that’s not going to happen soon. And I’ll have to use larger wheels
as well. The model is ~12 studs long, so in 6 wide scale it’s a bit more like
15’ long. How large is a real Foster & Rastrick Traction engine?

(I think also that it is just Foster, not & Rastrick...). I know all about the problems of Lego scale (...) (18 years ago, 30-Mar-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
