A well-made 3 inch scale Burrell 6nhp agricultural engine to the Plastow design, in good order and complete with a Maxitrak traction trailer.

Silver soldered copper boiler, 100psi working pressure, feed by injector and mechanical pump. Cast iron cylinder with slide valve actuated by Stephenson's gear with pole reverser, Pickering type governor, mechanical lubricator.

Two speed, three shaft transmission with differential, winch behind nearside rear wheel with fairleads mounted on tender. The wheels run on bonded rubber tyres which are in good condition.

It runs particularly nicely - there's a clip of it running around outside the workshop here. Exhaust beats are sharp and square, the engine pulls well and will run almost silently notched up close to mid gear.

The engine is road registered with V5 document.
