Fabulous design! I'm wondering how you will include the figures inside there, but I'm sure you will have a great solution as always ...  lol

Of course I have ;) The crew will sit on the two poles on the side... as soon as they arrive I will build some seats and bars for the feet and of course the MG mountings... hope they get here quickly...

Remember Tobsen, it's got to have spikes for some traction. :-)

Someone should kidnap Tobi, chain him to a workbench and force him to make contraptions for a commercial company, so we could all have the chance to own them. 

Another fantastic [in every sense] design :D

I... I... I could have a real workbench?? No more working on the floor between my 12 siblings beds and clothes? No more sanding with the concrete floor and cutting plasticsheet with my mothers clipped off fingernails? Sounds too good, to be true

Damn, wrong country...

Another awesome project, can't wait to see it finished. Are you going to add a boiler/funnel or training wheel?

Hi, a little update... smokestack still missing...

EDIT: oops, I just saw that in the second image the small gear fell off... it should on the same axle as the gear on the other side...
