A York-Bolton steam plant, part-dismantled and in need of some attention but with the majority of the original components there and working.

I've had several of these in before - there are pictures in the archive of what a complete, un-mucked about with one looks like. A high quality, commercially-built model, the plant comprised a piezo-start, gas-fired boiler coupled up to a single cylinder mill engine, driving a dynamo and lamp.

This model has boiler complete with gas and water tanks and the mill engine with displacement lubricator and dynamo. Most of the pipework is still coupled up, although none of the component parts are screwed to the base. The valve manifold and cover for gas canister are missing - the manifold could be made up from commercially available fittings easily, the cover is really only a cosmetic bit of tin.
