Ryan S. Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I'm going real also. Though if it's a model it's very well done. I'd love to ride that thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete J. Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Got the last one wrong, so lets see if I can do the same on this one. Model for no particular reason other than I have seen similar builds of steam engines at Joe Martin's(Sherline) Craftsmanship Museum.

Harry P. Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 Any time I see these kinds of things I always think "there's a lot more 'go' here than there is 'stop'" Now that you mention it... I don't see any brakes! Also, I don't think I'd be too comfortable with a coil in my crotch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dimaxion Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 It is a real model . It is not marking it's territory . Leaking oil to make the mark . Thanx .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Gibbons Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I seem to break even on these; I'm about due to be right, so I'll say model. I very well could be wrong, but I polished enough brass in my merchant marine days, and the tank looks too good to be 1:1 (or else it's been plated, which would have been unlikely on the 1:1.)
