A 1 inch scale Maxwell Hemmens coal-fired Showmans Tractor, built from a kit and unsteamed from new.

Substantially complete, the engine turns over freely and runs on air in either direction. It needs a final "tighten up" of the hornplate bolts and it's missing the chimney cap, a plug from the bottom water gauge fitting, steam-raising chimney - all easily turned from stock material - and the brass olivers. The canopy is complete, with some crazing to the white paint.

Highly regarded when produced in the 1980s and 90s, Maxwell Hemmens produced a range of high quality models, including locomotives, traction engines and stationary engines, many of which can be found in our archive pages.

There are pictures in the archive of another Hemmens Showmans tractor that we sold last year here.
