A steam plant comprising Cotswold Heritage "Gryphon" twin cylinder horizontal engine with a gas fired boiler, complete with gas tank. The whole thing is mounted on what I think is the original manufacturer's cast base, however there are later additions which have been piped up in a fairly rough and ready fashion.

It really wants some sympathetic fettling, at the very least the plumbing could be straightened up a little and the various tanks dotted about the place treated to a squirt of satin black aerosol.
