That looks good and sturdy. Appears the K. primer is working out. Good job! Doc Tom:animated:

The John Bull model is really nice. Amazing to see the birth of steam technology that rode the rails for the next 100 years. All the basics of a steam locomotive are in that early ancestor. A very good find. Doc Tom
