1 inch scale "Minnie" traction engine - stock code 11685

A 1 inch scale agricultural traction engine to Len Mason's "Minnie" design, an attractively painted and lined example, although built more for show than go.

Largely complete, missing top water gauge plug and pressure gauge fitting from fountain; the reverser is stiff to operate and the second shaft gears jammed.

The engine turns over freely although doesn't currently run on air.
