Brilliant, a wonderful build. I can imagine the satisfaction when it did a circuit. Thanks for sharing

The satisfaction came when it did the first circuit without falling off :)

In the other time if you do another meccano steamie, put side rods, it will put more velocity on the train, and go more strong.

[@datguymiller]

Okay but can it pull

[@alexanderwhittaker3622]

Brilliant. Monster Mash. What is the rail, is is just wire or proprietary track?

[@cryptkicker055]

It's just 3.15mm diameter wire, welded onto some spacers.

Have you tried pulling wagons ?

[@cryptkicker055]

Yes, it's got wagons now.

[@Marcy53Volkswagen]

you know if you had a steam expert which is also an expert at makin steam engines. you will be able to mount the engine to the wheels and then the roods will power the wheels
