Firstly, I quite understand just how easy it is to get company information confused. There is certainly no shame involved, it is just one of those...
G'day all, A collector friend sent me a photo of some of his Aladdin 1A's. They are all the same model, what I believe to be the very first...
I have often seen the question, "When did Aladdin start to chrome the tanks" 1950 [ATTACH]

I have a few 'works in progress' and I somehow doubt they are going to turn out half as good as yours - before your set back. Keep at it, I'd like...
@hikerduane The Thomas tanks are very prone to cracks. I had one that had 7 cracks in it, I suspect more would have appeared when pressure was...
Yes all, it isn't bad for a 1921 joke. :)
