Just found your channel and Subscribed. Very nice work

[@robertjroyal]

IN ITS WORKING LIFE IT FEEL THROUGH A BRIDGE AND BENT QUITE A FEW PARTS AND THE ECCENTRIC STRAPS ARE ALL WORN HOWEVER THE OWNER WANTED TO BE KEPT LIKE IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS HOW IT WAS IN ITS HEY DAY, ONLY THE ESSENTIAL AS REPLACED. NOT ONLY THAT IF YOU HAD SEEN SOME OF THE WORKMAN SHIP THAT CAME OUT OF THE FOWLERS WORKSHOP WHERE IT WAS OVIOUS THINGS WERE RUFF AND READY FOR MOST THINGS I AM UNDER SUSPITION THAT ALL THE RUFF (NOT QUITE RIGHT) ENGINES WERE SENT TO AUSTRAILIA

Johnny200SXTURBO its sounds fine to me, fowler A8's to click and clang due to the flywheel being in the shape of a bell

You say it's a "Colonial" engine. I thought Ruston was British, and say Case was a colonial engine. I am just learning, thanks.
