1 1/2 inch scale Allchin - stock code 13208

A well-built 1 1/2 inch scale Allchin agricultural engine to W.J.Hughes' highly detailed "Royal Chester" design.

An older engine, bearing a maker's plate dated 1980. In remarkable condition for an engine approaching fifty years old, it presents very well with bright paintwork and runs beautifully on air in either direction, down to a slow tickover.

The boiler has had a twice working pressure hydraulic test - passed with not even a drip from a fitting! Both mechanical and hand pumps work effectively.
