Unsurprisingly, given the fastidious nature of the builder, a complete photographic construction log was kept. As well as showing the beautiful workmanship right the way through this engine, the photographs also record the hours logged on the build - an interesting insight into the time and commitment needed to build a really nice engine (basically 2100 hours packed into two years - he obviously got more time away from the children than I do!).

These are a just a few of the pictures - the comments below are from the builders own notes on the back of the photographs. There are many more photographs recording all parts of the build.
