Miniature 65hp Case Steam Tractor

I built this 3/4" Case steam tractor many years ago, from plans by Rudy Kouhoupt, well known to the readers of model engineering magazines.
Rudy passed on in 2004, and will be greatly missed by modelers the world over, who built many of the models that he developed plans for. The model shown here looks somewhat different these days, as I built and installed a canopy that enhances the model.

The model is a good runner when steamed, and driven forward and backwards.
