We all have the same problem, i'm guessing most on tt have projects we know we will never get round to but hang on to them for the sake of it. I've just tried to break that trend by flogging some old workshop machinery and stationary engines to help fund repairs on other projects, and i'm glad I did as the place is less cluttered and i had some pennies to spend on other things. You don't miss them when they're gone. What really is the point in having things lying around that you can't afford to repair? I'd rather flog them and use the money to repair the other clutter so at least I can enjoy it. Still it's nice to know there are still some unrestored engines out there as it is a nice link to the dawn of this strange hobby, one day we may still see the pleasure of an engine in steam making its first ever appearance at a rally.
