It must've cost a huge amount of money,for a traction engine that's clean & detailed.

[@SteamOTR]

She's showing her age a bit, but still love her to pieces.

[@freddiehoskins6658]

She's a beautiful engine! Congratulations .

[@SteamOTR]

Thanks very much. She steams really well.

[@williamsworkshopuk]

Lovely! You must be very pleased.

[@SteamOTR]

Yes - When I saw it come up for sale I knew I had to move fast as it was going to sell very quickly. Very very pleased. Now the real learning starts!

[@tich4472]

Absolutely great news look forward to more videos soon!

[@SteamOTR]

Thanks very much. Really appreciate the comment. I'm hoping to be a bit more organised soon and make some better videos!

[@freddiehoskins6658]

Spicy hot rod ! I love the evident torque !

[@SteamOTR]

Torque, yes, Hot rod, probably less so 🤣

[@jacobwhittle9896]

Congratulations

[@SteamOTR]

Thanks very much. It's still a huge learning curve, but one to be gone through with a smile on my face.

Congratulations Dan, its a beauty

[@SteamOTR]

Thanks very much 😊If you'll pardon the pun, I'm a bit chuffed.

[@jimbruneau6769]

I would like to see how you tie down and fit the tractor and wagon in your trailer. Do you have any videos of this?

[@SteamOTR]

No, but I'll try and get some footage in a video in the near future.

[@stovepipe666]

Well wear with the engine you soon have her tamed

[@SteamOTR]

Thanks. It's a big learning curve, but I've started on some maintenance to make sure she's cared for.

[@terrier_productions]

You are one lucky man! Would love to own a miniature traction vehicle..

[@SteamOTR]

I am indeed. It's taken a while though.

[@elliotfuller4783]

Great to see that you made a deal on the Garrett, now comes the learning curve. Look forwards to more vlogs and seeing how you get on 👍🏻

[@SteamOTR]

So much to learn, but it's going to be fun!

[@mikego18753]

Thumbs up.World tour?lol. Cheers.

[@SteamOTR]

Town tour is about my limit so far!

[@simonellis3505]

Lovely engine enjoy. Perhaps consider not wearing shorts whilst driving because if a gauge glass breaks hot water will blow out under pressure and it could be very painfull.

[@tobybarnes6599]

It’s very unlikely a gauge glass is going to break unless you go round prodding it with your shovel

[@SteamOTR]

I've adapted now to keeping my legs out of the tender, so less of an issue. To be fair, Tom told me exactly the same thing!

[@simonellis3505]

@@tobybarnes6599 but they do break and hot water will burn, it was just a pointer to someone who is learning.

[@simonellis3505]

@@SteamOTR 👍enjoy the engine

[@SteamOTR]

@@simonellis3505 And it's appreciated as such. I'm grateful for all the pointers I can get at the moment.

[@richyg2851]

Absolutely brilliant mate, what a lovely engine! Will you be at castle combe steam rally this weekend?

[@SteamOTR]

I'd really like to bring her down, but I've missed the deadline for entries for most rallies this year. I might ring and see if there is any chance of a late entry.

[@richyg2851]

@@SteamOTR ahh yes of course, that's fair enough! Definitely worth a call though just incase! Good luck with everything, I'll keep an eye on the blog and hopefully see you at a rally one day. Congrats on the purchase! 🎉👏

[@justanamee7893]

can i ride this in the city if i get my hands on one? lol

[@SteamOTR]

I'm not sure I'd be keen on City use without brakes!

[@wacky_jack]

[@SteamOTR]

Can't go wrong with Legacy Vehicles

[@tastytoon]

[@SteamOTR]

It's 6" scale engine - just over 8 feet long.
