Richard and Ann 4" scale Burrell Agricultural Traction Engine

some pic

Looking good, is that spray or brush?

Grease nipples are a good idea, almost put them in mine till I broke the tap in the hole and decided a squirt of oil would have to do.

Enjoy the build

Nice another build and more potential friends. good to see another engine started and look forward to following progress.

sprayed with a air brush so easy to clean and you can get as much paint ideal for small jobs with out wasting to much paint

Looks good and a nice smooth finish, nice to see others adding grease nipples to this area.

the Grease nipples were surplyed by stw but im putting one on the axle pin myself

how many time did i rub off and start againe need more paint about a gallen lol

Hi Richard and anne. As the title suggests , I am a newbie , and this is my first post , prompted by looking at your pictures . I decided to purchase complete from Station Road Steam last year as I had the money , and after illness, I was concerned that I may be short of time. My engine can be viewed on the archive No. 5467 at Station Road. The colour is very correct to a full size engine I saw a few years ago at , I think , Barleylands. The reason I contacted you is your perch bracket with grease nipple. I shall be going over my engine tomorrow as I do not recall seeing any grease nipples on mine . They may be there , I just did not notlce them. Terrible I know , but I am more at home with 5" loco's . You may rest assured , if there are none , The engine will be back to a kit of parts by Sunday P.M. ! Good luck with your build , it is looking good . Richard

hi richard yes they are but im not shore if the older one had them in but you could drill and taps some ive put a bent one on the top off the axle theres just a hole to put oil
