Many years ago I had the luck to visit the Great Dorset Steam Fair. And what a fair this was! I especially admired the line of showman's engines in the dark. Since that time I wanted to own a 'proper' showman's engine. After buying and collecting Corgi Vintage Glory models I wanted the 'real deal' which makes some noise and steam, so I bought a Wilesco kit and modified it heavily to look more prototypical.

The first half of the video is a collage of the build process. If you are only interested in moving pictures jump to 02:50.

Enjoy!
