This is a very nice find. I had not seen any steam engines and this is a first for me. Thanks for posting this.
This model is just asking for some nice weathering and a grass base with some mud on the wheels. ;-)

Very nice and interresting model !!!

[bagpiper]

OK! Just checked out the downloads web site and it is painted with some weathering on a grass base. lol

Very clean work and interesting topic. Have you considered painting the model?

[whulsey]

I really like that. Have a plastic kit of a Fowler Z7 plowing engine, will make a great companion piece (if I ever get around to them).

Nice little model - thank you for sharing it with us.

@ bagpiper, seems like you have a good imagination, and I'll try to make a base for it.
@ Pat_craft, indeed it is a very unusual model.
@ cotlet, I'm not shure, well actually I have only water based paints maybe in the future I get some other type of paint.
@ whulsey, go ahead it's not too hard.
@ Tim, you're welcome.
Thanks to everyone for your comments.
Cheers.
