2 inch scale Ransomes, Sims & Jefferies parts & boiler - stock code 5599

A quantity of castings (including compound cylinder block in gunmetal), commercially cut gears and silver soldered copper boiler for a 2 inch scale Ransomes Sims & Jefferies steam tractor to the John Haining design. Complete with copies of the construction articles from "Model Engineer" and a set of drawings.

We don't see many of these - indeed, I've never had a complete, running one in the workshop. Slightly bigger than the ubiquitous 1 1/2 inch scale Allchin, they make a useful sized engine - as ever, YouTube turns up several clips of examples running about.
