This engine falls firmly into that category, the result of eight years work  and a considerable amount of expense - it's a large three inch scale engine  built to MJ Engineering's design for the Fowler A7. It makes up into a handsome  machine - to give some idea of the size I've included a couple of pictures of it  next to a 3 inch scale Burrell. Even without rubber tyres on the Fowler towers  above the Burell, it's about the same length and weight already even without  gears and tender.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eWork thus far is to an excellent standard and comprises:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e    \u003cli\u003e      \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eNew Franklin \u0026amp; Bell boiler, steel with expanded tubes,      complete with all paperwork.
