Sold August 2008 Back to Archive

A freelance single cylinder steam wagon, from the same builder as the 3 inch Burrell currently in stock and stored in much the same conditions in recent years.

Despite initial appearances, build quality underneath the muck is good - the engine turns over smoothly, steering works nicely and it pushes along freely.

Steel boiler, feed by mechanical and hand pumps, single cylinder engine with slide valve actuated by Stephenson's reversing gear. Chain drive to rear axle.

Scale is a moot point - the owner had always been told by his grandfather it was 4 inch, I think it's a big 3 inch although certainly a good two man lift.
