First run of a Ransomes 2 inch compound traction engine

Together with my friend Hans we took this great model to a model steamshow in Holland and there it had its first run since many year`s, The builder had a go with it but ever since it never was fired again, so it was great to bring this model back to live, and powerful it turned out to be, easy it could pull the two of us, even up a climb at the museum. What de joy to play with such a very well engineered model, lots of credits to its builder.
