a lot of metal on the models are imperial and only metric is available so you have to alter a lot of measurements to make up the diffrence

I was referring to the imperial ones being wrong to start with, but on your point there's a metric version of the Minnie Traction engine that is not very reliable.

I saw that on your bench the other day and thought it would make a good boiler!

I'm sure there's a similar size section for a live steam engine in the shed given to my father by his friend Jack Davies before he died. He was quite a model engineer, a quick search found one of his engines on show.
Glad l looked Jack up again, found a Faecesbook dedicated to him. I have fond memories of him from childhood.
