A Burrell single crank compound two speed road engine, on rubber tyres and fitted with solid flywheel and rubber tyres.

Welded steel boiler with expanded tubes by Franklin & Bell - the boiler was supplied new in 1998, earliest records of a steam test for the engine we have are 2006, not unusual given the protracted build times of a big project like this. 150psi working pressure, Ramsbottom type safety valves, feed by injector and mechanical pump.

Mechanical lubricator and governor mounted on the cylinder block, along with a steam siren.

Three shaft, two speed transmission with differential, rubber tyres, winch behind nearside rear wheel with fairleads on tender.
