Allchin boiler and part set castings - stock code 3016

Everything you need to make a serious start on a 1 1/2 inch scale Allchin. Comprises:

  • Silver soldered copper boiler by Blackgates Engineering with paperwork
  • Complete set of professionally cut gears, including differential, governor and steering gears
  • Copy of the Hughes build manual
  • Grubby set of drawings, missing sheet 4
  • Large quantity of castings, as shown
  • 0-150psi pressure gauge
  • Set steering chains
  • Enough stainless steel grate to do your kitchen floor as well as the engine
  • Smokebox tube

Apart from the drawings, everything is brand new, pristine, untouched by human hand (well, except the original owner's. And mine. I think Mrs P might have opened the book as well...).

A substantial start for one of the most popular models built. Everybody knows what they look like, seems hardly worth telling you there are numerous examples in the archive, built and part-built.
