THE design engineer
As a child, [Mike Chrisp] saw a film featuring one of the fantastic narrow gauge English locomotives. While the story was inordinately heartening, as soon as he walked out of the theatre, [Mike] stated to himself that he had to have one of these locomotives. therefore began a lifelong experience in design engineering.
[Mike] develops design locomotives as well as other steam-powered indicates of motive power. whatever from five-inch gauge locomotives to little heavy steam tractors is liable to find out of his little workshop, all developed with the machining as well as engineering excellence only a lifetime of experience can provide.
As of what drives [Mike] to stay in his workshop for long hours, he states his shop is just a location to be, a location to tinker, as well as a location to just believe about things, even if his hands aren’t getting dirty. There’s something gorgeous about that, even if [Mike] were to hide the products of his skill away from the world.
