A 1 inch scale agricultural engine to Len Mason's popular "Minnie" design.
An older engine, it shows signs of wear in the valve gear and motionwork; paintwork offers ample opportunity for improvement.
There is one cylinder mounting bolt missing, the cylinder front cover gasket leaks - all that said, the engine runs happily in either direction on air.
