Urban's shoe factory donated this steam engine to the George Museum in 1993 when the company closed down after 70 years in business. It was used to drive the large tanning drum in which hides and skins were de-haired and tanned during the process of making leather. During World War II it was used to saw wood for making crates in which army boots were shipped to the troops (information provided by the museum).

The steam train Tornado steaming through Severn Tunnel Junction station on its way to Cardiff.
The Tornado is the first and only standard gauge steam engine to be built in the UK, from scratch, since the last British Rail engine Evening Star in 1960
In 1990 a group of people came together to share an extraordinary ambition – to construct a brand new Peppercorn A1 Pacific. They formed The A1 Steam Locomotive Trust and after nineteen years of incredible effort that locomotive, No. 60163 Tornado, moved under its own power for the first time in 2008. Find out more at:

The St. Giles Steam Fire Engine was built in 1908 and is one of the oldest horse drawn fire engines. Horsedrawn vehicles were the main form of transport from the early 1900's. Following a serious fire that completely destroyed the Parish Church at Wimbourne St.Giles in 1908, Lord Shaftesbury put in an order for a fire engine to be built by the well respected Shand Mason fire engine engineers.
Lord Shaftesbury wanted a steam fire engine that could be steamed in 9 minutes from cold with a pump that could pump 150 gallons of water a minute from a jet hose 150ft long and fire engine would be named the St. Giles Steam Fire Engine. The St. Giles Fire engine was stationed and maintained from the Wimbourne St. Giles House where it remained until 1946 during which time the fire engine was only once called out to put out a fire. Between 1946 and 1957 the St. Giles Fire Engine changed hands a few times and in 1987 the St. Giles Fire engine was purchased by its present owner Mr Rowan McDermont. It has made several public appearances including a spot on the TV show, Blue Peter.

Firstly, the majority of the credit for this creation needs to go to Jason Railton who built the original version. He doesn't currently have any photos of his creation on his photostream, but it can be seen here, here and here, as part of his fairground display for the 2010 Great Western Lego Show.
I saw Jason's creation at the 2010 Great Western Lego Show and realised that it would make a perfect Christmas present for my brother-in-law who owns his own traction engine and has previously helped out with Carters Steam Fair. I contacted Jason and he was happy for me to duplicate his model as long as it wasn't for sale or for use as a competition entry.
As you can see, my version is not identical to Jason's. When recreating his model, I only had those photos I've already linked to above for reference, so some guesswork was involved in determining exactly how some areas were built. I also chose not to include the motorized functionality and made additional changes to the design based upon personal preference.
I would have liked to have included the yellow band between the flywheel and the dynamo, but unlike Jason's original creation which used the small red motor for the dynamo, mine is only attached by one stud and as such is not strong enough to counteract the tension in the band. Also, in case you were wondering, the cat was added for my sister, who didn't realise that LEGO made cats until she saw them used throughout the displays at the 2010 Great Western Lego Show.
