Traction Engine Build

Getting there....






New pics update
The decals are a bit of a challenge - very old, glue all sticky, fragile..
I'm in the process of hand lining a damaged one.



I have commenced building a 1/16th Bandai Traction Engine.  I will post info and pictures as I go along.

  1. Looking good I keep looking out for a kit at a good price to build myself I managed to pick up a ready built kit but was in such a bad way I couldn't make it a shoman's engine so I scratch built some parts and turned it into a road locomotive has made a very nice model in gloss black with gold lining

  2. Can you post a photo? I'd like to see it. This one above is a 1980's Bandai kit. Very difficult to come by and cost the earth. There is a beautiful example here: http://airfixtributeforum.myfastforum.org/archive/bandai-1-16-showmans-traction-engine-pendle-princess__o_t__t_22834.html

  4. Adam - I found your pics. A lovely job done. The black livery looks stunning. I definitely recognise some of the parts!
