A large twin cylinder mill engine, weighing in at just over half a hundredweight, mounted on a wooden base.

The engine is largely complete, although currently stiff to turn over. It requires a pair of slide valves machining to finish - there are a pair of castings for these.

Handsomely proportioned, if rather flamboyantly finished with plated connecting rods and cylinder end covers - rebuilt and painted there's the basis of an impressive large scale model of a typical Victorian mill engine.
