1 inch scale agricultural engine, electric powered - stock code 2890

Freelance agricultural traction engine in one inch scale, slightly bigger than a "Minnie". Single cylinder, slide valve actuated by Stephenson's valve gear with pole reverser on footplate. Ramsbottom safety valves, mechanical lubricator moutned behind cylinder. Two road gears with selector beside regulator handle.

Obviously been much used, motion is worn, lubricator appears to be a dummy and boiler material seems perilously thin. Oh yes, and there's an motor in the firebox which makes the thing go.

Electric traction engines, whatever are they going to think of next...
