Thought I'd try a nicker elastic drive and asked my boss to donate some, all she said was you'll have to let me take them off first, that caused a sweat I though my birthday had arrived early. :D

Thats what I'm thinking about doing, I took the engine round to Johns for a natter and to bounce some ideas off him regarding the base it was my plan to make a brick wall but with the correct 1/3 scale bricks they would be lost behind the engine and it wouldn't look like a wall. John has a very nice piece of red oak that we think would make a base to mount it horizontally and to add some line shafting to it, so eventually that will be the plan, but in the mean time I can display it horizontally on the base.
John very kindly offered to machine the red oak up as I've an allergy to hard wood dust, I come out with a very uncomfortable rash.
Thank you all for comments munch appreciated.

John has very kindly finished the base he's used a beautiful piece of oak, I've added some bun feat to it made from draw knobs.
This is it on its posh base
I'll post a video of the finished engine running tomorrow.

Very nice engine and base, a real show stopper if I may say so. :thumbup:
Now about that base. Is this the same John that hates brown stuff? :lol: :lol:
