Fantastic Robert, a true work of art! There aren't enough superlatives in the English language to do it justice!!

Regards
Eddy

Now thats what I call the peak of true model engineering.
I wish I was so blessed. Well done on such a magnificent achievement.

Hi Robert,
this model is absolutely the best I´ve ever seen. Try to complete it with the other sections of the Waverley.

Hi PD's

some years a go Robert invited me to see his model, the day before we where aboard the Waverley and had a guided tour round the engine while sailing with Ken Henderson. It was on of the best things ever, but the next day when i saw Roberts little model ;) it was so impressive, I'd like to say better then the real one. Robert gave me then a copy of an article he wrote about his model (Model EngineerJanuary 1992), i made a translation for the German model magazine "Maschinen im Modellbau" unfortunately i can't remember when it was published. He also gave me an video where you can see the engine running on steam :trophy

Hi,

this video should be sent to the webmaster to organize the upload for all of us.

Hi PD's,

i think there is a small problem with the video, because it is on tape not digital, but we could ask Robert to produce a new video when the new boiler is ready and the make a digital version, i am sure everyone here at PD will like it.

Hi Hans/Eddy/Robert  If the video is in VHS format I can copy it on to a DVD if Robert can get it to me.
Cheers from Bob Golder

Hello Hans and Bob,
                          I will make a new video when the new boiler is complete. I now have a new camcorder so the picture quality should be better. 

Robert
