i'm sorry i did not save the picture . . . .

but was a shroud with a round cross section ever a factory part, or could what i saw have been a late contemporary custom fabrication?

both it and the surrounding tins were an ivory color if that's any more clue.

thanks

embarrassingly enough . . . . it may have been Pinterest.

i know, i know . . .


but it was a stand alone engine from memory. the shroud was so obviously styled you may be correct in a contemporary builder having responsibility.
