It occurred these would look good on a Savage.

...ohhh yeah, they would. Black wheels look great.  How much $?

Last time I was in SA I went to an exibition of model steam engines about a mile from my uncles house, absoloutely awesome. Also there was a permanent display of stationary engines, some of the biggest flywheels I've ever seen.

Hey Mick
 You have jogged my memory I did have steam powered model traction engine as a kid, it was a mamod that ran on meths.

PS I remember lightening the piston to let it rev harder.

I know the steam engine you mean ,I had one until just recently ,I sold it to a SE fan. The two Loco's below are the ones I am talking about,both built in England and shown at Earls Court in london.
the one below is at speed at ground level, I was a fireman for a few years and I can assure you that footplate is correct in every way,he has even got the coal down to scale size.
I'm guessing,probably 5 or 6 years to build.

 I like 'em and appreciate the work that goes into them, when you see them first hand they never cease to amaze. What gives me a buzz these days is things like fitting a dynojet kit to a set of four cyl carbs, mind I did myself out of a job there, I talked the owner of a local bike shop through a couple and he does them himself now. Nice guy or what.
 I have designed pipes for 1,2,3,4and6 cylinder bikes, cars and sidecars. I also consult on chassis design for solos but mostly sidecars. Sidecars are in a world all of their own, a good friend races a formula2 sidecar with a 600/4 in it, you are looking at mid 120's for horsepower, and about 2G's cornering and on the brakes.
