A 3 inch scale Savage "Little Samson" traction engine, complete although in need of overhaul.

In addition to general tidying up, work required includes:

  • Regulator leaks
  • Glands leak, require repacking
  • Blowdown valve doesn't open
  • Leaks past slide valve
The commercially-built steel boiler by Franklin & Bell shows no sign of leaks or deflection on hydraulic test, we would warranty it as sound.

The engine is on rubber tyres and road-registered, with V5 document.
