Mr Bird's Stationary steam engines I thought I would start this thread to publicise Mr Birds fantastic steam engines to our newer members Who perhaps are not familiar with them Mr Bird made a range of five steam engines somewhere between 1947 and 1953 All had the prefix number of 13, followed by the designation number of 1 to 5 The steam engines were named after Sydney's two sons Cyril and Donald, well I should say an amalgamation of there names The Models where named Cyldon and numbered: 13/1 . 13/2 13/3 13/4 13/5 And now for the interesting part, the photos Pics are of the Cyldon 13/3, 13/4, 13/5 Can someone add a 13/1 & 13/2 to this thread please _________________ Mike My personal website, with pics. www.mikes-steam-engines.co.uk ™ Mamod Loco
