4 inch scale Burrell agricultural engine - stock code 12426

A 4 inch scale Burrell 6nhp agricultural engine by Steam Traction World kit, this one has come to us from the family of the builder.

At an advanced stage of assembly, the engine runs in both directions on compressed air. Steering and gear selectors are stiff to operate - we suspect assembled "straight from the box", they would ease off with light fettling and some lubrication.

Complete with driver's upholstered seat and associated bracketry, folder of assembly instructions and drawings, and manufacturer's boiler certificate.

Further information and a full technical specification is available on Steam Traction World's website here.
