Large twin cylinder vertical engine - stock code 11093

A large twin cylinder vertical engine, weighing in at around half a hundredweight. Apparently originally destined for a boat, although would be equally useful (and a lot more fun) in a 7 1/4 inch narrow gauge "De Winton" style project.

Of scruffy mien with tar-brush paintwork, the pipework is a plumber's nightmare. Fairly stiff to turn over although runs ok in one direction, not in the other.
