@SH1974 we do lots of rallies and unfortunately are not able to make scale wagons that are practical for riding on, as for this engine i think the seat is the least of its worries in terms of been close to the full size. for example the gold spokes motion work and the red sparkly flywheel, but the engine owners daughter chose the colours and altho not been historicly correct it runs well and provides lots of enjoyment for the owner
@elinikk we do build engines from plans and are just building four 6" fodens an other single cylinder traction engines, but this was a model works kit built by one of our customers that brought it to us for modification due to faults.
nice, but when does the motion work look gold? should be silver steel, unpainted!. i have a 4 inch burrell, not a kit though, will you be rallying it ? if so what area, my bump into you.
omg shut that stupid dog up

That's an absolute wonderful tractor -
but I don't like the operator's seat so bad scaled
(of course, it must be usable...) behind the tractor.
Why not use a trailer (that must not be 100% scale) to place the operator's seat?
You could make it look like a tender wagon. So the tractor itself can be precise and looks really like an original one.

Looks awesome! I would love to have one of these. Did you make it from plans?
