1 inch scale ploughing engine - stock code 9563

A 1 inch scale ploughing engine, of freelance design although clearly influenced by early Fowler designs with vertical steering column, dished-spoke flywheel and underslung winding drum with bevel drive from the crankshaft.

The builder has managed to capture the look of the late nineteenth century prototype, whilst largely fabricating the model from stock material.
