Sold January 2001 Back to Archive

A 2 1/4 inch scale steam lorry, based on the Foden overtype wagons of the early 1900s. The silver-soldered copper boiler is fed by injector and axle pump - in addition an auxiliary hand pump is fitted. The twin cylinder engine is fitted with Stephenson's valve gear and a balanced steel crank, driving through a two-speed transmission with final drive to the rear wheels by chain as in the prototype.

The lorry is 46 inches long and is easily driven from the flat bed - the controls and firebox are easily accessible on the move. Whilst large enough to pull an adult comfortably, the engine can be handled by one person. Current club boiler certificate.
