Welcome Todd

Unfortunately I don't have a traction engine yet, but I am honing up my skills to one day build a scale model of the Martin Luther as it was named here in Namibia; It's the only traction engine I can physically visit ;D

Regards, Arnold

I've built a 1" Minnie, thats the one in my avitar and a few more pics of the finished engine in this album.

I am currently just over half way through a 2" Fowler A7 aggricultural engine, most of the parts are detailed in this album.

Although mostly UK based there is a very active model section on Traction Talk Forum if you want to take a look

Arnold, that looks an interesting project, I've not seen any models of the German engines, even the more popular makes such as Lanz or Ottomeyer. At least you have the full size one to measure from :

Welcome to the forum Todd.

Have you tried the search feature? Search 'traction' and other related terms.

And, if you would, post something about yourself in the Welcome thread. Everyone would like to know more. Building any engines?

Hello,

Like Jason I am building a 2" scale Fowler A7 Traction Engine and it is a fill in project so far although next year it will become my main project. I am covering the build both on this forum and my own website [urlhttp://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com/index.php?topic=2870.msg35125#msg35125[/url]

and http://www.mikes-models.com/ccfowlerdiary.html/url] Look forward to seeing your build
