Model Engineering In Thailand and South East Asia

Taking Home The Castings For The 6 Inch Scale Little Samson Traction Engine Model

20 April 2014 – The Little Samson Traction Engine Project Has Started

Today (Easter Sunday 2014) I collected the castings for the half-size Little Samson Traction Engine from Little Samson Models down in Cambridge and took them back to our house in Nottingham where I am busy packing up my model engineering workshop to send to our retirement home in Thailand.

Here are some photos of the castings in my Ford Fiesta ST car.

See how heavily loaded the Ford Fiesta car is in the picture above.

Normally that car does around 40 mpg. On the drive home it only managed 35 mpg. All that extra petrol went into heating up the rear tires through friction! The rear tires were red hot when we got home.
