A lovely old 3/4 inch scale Bassett Lowke traction engine, supplied as kits in the 1950s, complete with a copy of the manufacturer's booklet "How to build a traction engine".

Very much in its working clothes, it's obviously been well loved and used over the years! Spirit-fired, it turns over freely and runs on air.

Includes free UK shipping.
