The video shows my 4" ModelWorks Burrell Traction Eengine running at my local park. The reason for the outing was to test a new driver's seat I have recently completed.
The idea of the seat is that the driver's weight does not fall on the engine while at the same time the seat is effectivly fix to the engine frame. With my old seat it was impossible to drive up the 1 in 5 slope shown in the video without the front wheels lifting.
Only you can decide. I my view the biggest decision is the scale rather than the manufacturer.
