A well advanced 4 inch scale Dodman single crank compound traction engine, the work of an experienced builder - we've had engines from him before in both 4 and 6 inch scale.
Work is to a good standard, boiler is by AJB Engineering, gears are professionally cut. Block is machined and mounted on the boiler, all valve gear is fitted along with weighshaft, reach rod and reverser stand.
Main work to finish is fabrication of a tender and gear guards, chimney, fittings and pipework. A powerful, well-proportioned engine, we had a particularly nice one in a year or two back - there are pictures and video of that one in the archive here.
