Quite lovely 2" (I think !) Portable live steam engine. Old school quality, detail and patina you just don't find very often. Hope you will enjoy seeing the photos as much as I enjoyed seeing her arrive.
All of the engineering feels strong and robust as well as appearing elegant. The engine, motion and crank brackets are very substancial and it seems the boiler is equally up to their mounts. All the drain cocks, taps and fittings have a quality look and feel. The flywheels also have the correct convex curvature to it's cross secton, so the belt stays put.
Approx dimensions are:
- 11-1/2" diameter flywheels
- 10" diameter rear wheels, 7-1/2" fronts
- 42" tall, 23-1/2" tall to top of flywheel.
- 14-1/2" wide
- 30" long, or just under.
- 8" diameter main boiler tube. Boiler is 20" long, not including smoke box.
The last photo shows a 1" Minnie traction engine next to this portable just to give you a better idea of her size.
There are a few jobs to do, a missing cap on one crank oiler pot, a missing crosshead fluted oiler and the boiler will need pressure testing. The regulator will need freeing but being under steam could well solve this. Not much really to detract for the joy of ownership in my view.
Price: £ Just arrived, please call for details. (No additional VAT to add)
Happy to consider a loco, traction, or stationary/marine/aero engines as a part exchange.
