Burrell Traction Engine, Castings for my Birthday

  Burrell Traction Engine, Castings for my Birthday

As my birthday is fast approaching (2/Feb) it seems like a great time to get a couple of small parts on order from your local Burrell Traction engine foundry supplier.
Since I'm trying to make all the front end parts, it seems apt to order the chimney base foundation ring and the chimney cowl, a posh one cast solid in bronze.  (More front end weight!!)

After contacting Bridport I received a photo so I could see what it looks like. They are really helpful and I am pleased with the help and support especially as the engine is going to take some time to build.

Clearly it's important to get good continued support when undertaking a project of this scale.
Looking forward to hours of polishing this up to get a good finish......
