Here's one that got away,a small freelance Weir pump.
All his engines were made the old way on a Myford Drummond lathe with vertical slide and a small bench drill and a lot of skill,no fancy milling machines or DROs

your brother is also an artist.
on the 2-4-0 loco (LBSC's Petrolea I would bet), do the various shades of brass come frome a particular treatment ?
the general aspect is awsome.

 

[don-tucker]

You are right Petrolea it is the colours come from steaming and age I would think

Your brother is a genius. Those pictures are awesome. Thanks for sharing

 

[don-tucker]

Thank you all for your kind comments ,he was most embarressed when I told him but i thought it was a shame to have all that work tucked away in a bedroom and nobody who knows anything about engineering looking at them,so this forum was a great opportunity.

WOW Don! That's beautiful work. Thanks for sharing it with us. It would indeed be a shame for them to not be seen and appreciated. Please pass along my admiration to your brother. He is a very skilled man.
