after a lot of looking, I've finally got a small Fairbanks morse . this will have to wait until the others are finished. sometimes you just have to buy it when it turns up.

the bearers that the engine are sat on are softwood, the large piece of wood it is sat on in the picture is a piece of hardwood. this has now been cut to size and the engine is now sat on hardwood bearers.
