Jerry,
This is pretty nice! Have a couple of questions.

I've seen a few Rustons in Oz :-)     They all look like cast iron was 
in abundance at the factory. I don't see a pivoting axle on the cart. 
Are you able to move this around well?

I really like the wood work you did on the side of the box. That's 
pretty detailed router work of the RH logo. Tell us how you did this?

Hi Curt,
	These little Ruston PT's were the forerunners of the Wolseley WD range and
in fact when Ruston & Hornsby stopped making them they carried on selling
Wolseleys badged as Rustons for a short while.
	I do not make pivoting axles for a number of reasons. I have a loose
towbar and wheel arrangement that hooks under the axle. Leverage picks the
engine up and I drag and steer it with this
bar. (I find it a bit hard to describe the construction in words but will
soon put pics of it on my webpage.) I then only have this one towbar which
fits all the engines and when they are in place I store it out of sight. I
can make my trolleys shorter and lower this way and fit more on my pickup
(I have a double cab which only has a small loading back). 
	Regarding the "router work". I cheated with this one, although I do have a
router pantograph as well as a small signmaking pantograph which I would
normally do this with I was running out of time and did the drawings on a
CAD programme and sent it to a friend who has a computer controlled
engraver. Cost me the equivalent of Aus$ 12.00. So much easier. I did the
rest myself - dovetails etc.
Cheers for now,
Jerry

Best regards
Jerry Evans.
