A 4 inch scale Tasker "Little Giant" steam tractor, built up to a rolling chassis stage, along with a quantity of parts.

Work to date comprises:

  • Commercially built steel boiler by Enterprise Engineering with material and welder's documentation
  • Smokebox assembly with chimney and perch bracket
  • Rolling chassis including wheels, axles and hornplates
  • Commercially machined gears
  • Machined cylinder assembly
  • Crankshaft, connecting rod and flywheel
  • Part-built brass tender
  • Machined water pump
  • Loose parts including belly tank, steering chains, expansion link, stainless steel grate, material for rubber tyres and rear springs
