An interesting weekend...
On Friday I picked up my Accucraft Burrell tractor from their office. I ran it light on that evening.
On Saturday I bought a plank and four casters (two swivels and two fixed) to build a temporary riding car. Once assembled, the tractor had no problem pulling me along the sidewalk as shown in this movie. While I was getting ready for a second run, we received a phone call about a Heisler locomotive in 1:12 scale for sale at a great price. Henner immediately agreed to buy it. Before we knew what was happening, we were on our way to Scramento (a couple of hours away) to pick it up! You can see some pictures of this engine here. While all this was going on, our friend I-Wei (aka Crabfu) was playing with his latest steam powered creation. Make sure to have a look at his other steam powered creations.
