Sure and the fabulous Lane Ranger is right. Most of my engines
including the 2-1/2" Shay use mainly fabricated parts. As you say in
Jolly olde England, "works a treat". Almost all of the stationary
engines I have built are fabricated including the one I am working on
these days.
Dang, so old Terry is alive and kicking!!! I was gettin' worried have
sent him several emails and never heard a word in return. Never even got
a stir from him when I sent him a photo of his favourite Bush Ranger,
Ned Kelly. Tel, my email is fernj1@xxxxxxxxxxx in case youse have it
wrong.
