A 2 inch scale Clayton & Shuttleworth agricultural engine, rare in this scale (indeed not common in any scale, we've only had three in the last twenty years, those all 4 inch scale engines).

A well-made engine originally, we rather like the now-faded "working clothes" paintwork. It runs well on air, with some wear apparent in the motionwork and valve gear.

Boiler is copper and appear silver soldered with nutted and calked firebox stays. Pressure gauge is redlined at a conservative 50psi - a hydraulic test at twice working pressure showed no signs of leaks or distortion, although the cylinder top cover and fittings leak copiously.
