This is an incomplete pre-machined and part built Stuart Models Beam type Steam Engine.
It is complete with engineering drawings and a book about how to build a Stuart Beam Engine. Even the original invoice from Stuart Models is present.
Some parts are missing: The Eccentric and valve linkage need making, as do the bearing blocks for the for the valve linkage. I found an un-machined Stuart Models eccentric strap which after machining will be OK for this engine. The Watts Parallel motion needs making as these parts were lost at some time in the past. The engineering standard is high as this is a Stuart Models Pre-Machined Kit. The paint job on the other hand is not nice - but easily removed.
Overseas buyers please be aware that these parts are heavy and shipping will be expensive.
