One of several engines recently unearthed from a barn where they have lain for many years, covered in oil and dust. This engine appears to be a small working engine rather than lar ge model - it comes from the pre-fractional horsepower electric motor era, when it would have been paired with a coal-fired boiler. The cast iron bed is rather elegantly proportioned, the cylinder has a basic steel lagging which, a hundred years ago, was probably blued. Overall length 18 inches Flywheel 7 inch diameter Bore approx 1 1/2 inch Stroke 2 3/4 inch Show more
