Cotswold Heritage "Perseus" steam plant - stock code 9807

A steam plant, comprising Cotswold Heritage "Perseus" horizontal mill engine, with vertical gas-fired boiler and condenser/oil trap.

The boiler is fed from a water tank with hand pump, both by Stuart Models.

There is a dynamo - in working order although it needs a drive belt - complete with volt and ammeters, which powers an engine house lamp.

The whole plant has been well put together and mounted on an attractive wooden base. The engine runs well on air - with a rubber band doing temporary service as a drive belt we could iven get a glow from the lamp!
