I posted the link from old glory renewed website to the colonial site, but I think this is suitable for VSF, too:

Fantastic, just shows how close we came to VSF being real. ;)

For those of us in UK and Europe I just mailed an enquiry to Old Glory UK. If enough of us do that they may think about stocking this beauty!

Ditto. I've seen the original (or was it a dashed good reproduction?) in Paris, and it's impressively large.
But this armoured steam tractor is grand too.  8) 8)

I had this report but never noted the Cunot's machine.

It seems that the "exotic" science is very interesting.

Latast update from Andy at Old GLory UK from this morning's emails is below:

Dave On price I can only be approximate but around £27.00 inc VAT (we are a VAT registered company unlike most of our competitors) plus postage to you .

 Phone in details by all means. I expect to be sending off my next order to the USA in mid July for delivery in August  though they are not good at deadlines thse yanks so I can’t be more specific than that I’m afraid.

 Andy OGUK


You can contact Andy at  info(at)oldgloryuk(dot)com


Its a tough call on whether to order direct from the States. I assume looking at the dollar exchange rate you could expect to get it for £17 plus delivery. I reckon that might still work out cheaper than £27 plus his postage and packaging charge.
