He started out building a 4 1/2 inch scale Foden and, having enjoyed that project, went on to build a Burrell SCC agricultural, DCC road locomotive and this engine, all from the same manufacturer.
A man whose interest lay in the workshop rather than on the rally field, only the Foden was ever fired, the other three engines remaining unsteamed after completion.
Factory fitted with optional rubber tyres, the Burrell has been through the workshop - valve and eccentrics have been set, with the engine tested running in both directions on air.
Offered brand new and unsteamed, the engine will require commissioning before use.
