FULL STEAM AHEAD: FIXING UP A TUDOR ROSE STEAM ENGINE

 Hot on the heels of the Marx Police Car comes this lovely soft-plastic Tudor Rose engine kindly donated by Bill.

Very little was required to bring this old roller back into full service.

After a warm soapy bath ......

The roof was re-attached.

A wood glue bottle top, with a lick of blue, made for a nice new funnel.


With a replacement steering wheel from the bits box the engine turned away to enjoy its new rosey life.


Did you/ Have you got a Tudor Rose toy readers?

Next on the block is the bigger challenge of Topo Gigio's Ice Cream Van. Watch this cornet.
