Some of you maybe familiar with the 16mm coal-fired live steam engines produced by Tolhurst Model Engineering. Although Chris Tolhurst has been building these engines for some years now his hobby is actually Gauge one and was finally persuaded a while back to produce a 1/32nd scale engine.
About a year a go He announced that He would do a batch of King Arthur's/S15's to order, 25 altogether which have all been picked up on.
Each engine will be detailed inline with the prototype ordered and painted to the era required, it's my understanding that no two engines will be a like.
Here is a video showing an early run of the prototype,
This prototype is un-detailed as it's only purpose is to prove the design however the Mark Wood wheels should give an idea of the quality aimed at, if Chris is true to form then this will raise the bar when it comes to 1/32nd live steam.
I know it's not really modelling but I will post from time to time as more becomes available as it will show what can be achieved in live steam,
cheers to all, Rob
