The model was built by John McDivitt of Sarver, Pennsylvania and I took the photo at NAMES (North American Model Engineering Show) a few years ago. It was on display along with a Stuart Major beam engine and a "Fleet" Corliss (the same as the Peter Southworth Corliss) both of which were built by John and were equal or better in workmanship. He really did very fine work and in particular had a very good eye for achieving a convincing balance between painted and bright surfaces. Regards, Harry MODEL ENGINEERING DISCUSSION LIST.
