Hi Bob Thanks for the compliments. I am lucky as tractor shows are a common occurrence here in Ohio. There are three shows every year I generally go to, all close to home, which always have about a dozen operating steam traction engines, an operating thresher, bailer, saw mills, etc.
The large drive belt wheels came from American Model Builders and the small ones are adapted from FinestKind pulleys. The decals were scanned from original Russell advertising artwork, cleaned up on the computer, and printed with the ink jet on white decal paper. Russell painted all their threshers red and yellow up until their final year or two of production, as near as I can determine, when they too went to the galvanized finish.
