Delighted to tell you that Mr Fehling (at 86 definitely a senior designer), has reacted to my request to finish his model of the Steamtractor 'Old Dina'. Look it up on Google images - very interesting. It was used to replace a twenty mule train to transport borax from the mine to the nearest railway station - 165 miles away.
It is highly unusual: a vertical steam engine, with a watertank in front of it. Only one was ever built - it cannot have been a great success. But definitely a very unusual model.
Available only via my website zeistbouwplaten.nl, >transport, page Kurt Fehling.
Please note: printed copies only, because it is printed on coloured paper. So scanning is impossible.
