1 1/2 inch scale Allchin - stock code 4351

I last sold this engine back in 2007, a finely-engineered but then unpainted engine which I estimated to be better than 90% complete at that time - there are pictures in the archive of it at that stage. Over the last three years it has inched closer to completion, having now been painted and most of the mechanical work completed. It has been test-steamed, but other than that is new.

Work remaining includes making a linkage for the drain cocks, cylinder cladding and a gear guard. The rubber tyres are simple slipped onto the steel wheels - they protect the paint but can be easily removed if required. Copper boiler is by Reeves, all silver-soldered.

A well-built example of this very popular model.
