A fine oscillatory steam engine ,spirit fired with safety valve , whistle and regulator valve. The boiler side plates appear to come from a Bowman model but the engine with its displacement lubricator and brass flywheel do not look like any commercial model I have seen.

Old kit. Will get it finished one of these years.

Exhibited by John Jones on the "stationary steam engines" stand, this engine is not a model, but an engine from a workshop, built to be as simple and easy to maintain as possible.

I got to touch this iconic engine while it was in Edinburgh Waverley. My return from Glasgow gave me just enough time to get a few pics. A ticket to travel on the train would have been something like £167
