Comparing the Original version Benkei, 1972 to the more modern release in 1998.
Not too fond of the original power friction drive but I do like the 'clacker' of the original. Love the look of the taller smoke stack but at the expense of not going under a riser?
/pier but that would be easily remedied with the use of custom cut 3/4 inch riser blocks. I love these Western Steamers 😊
