Steam plant with oscillating vertical engine, horizontal mill engine - stock code 5228

A steam plant comprising a copper horizontal boiler with vertical oscillating and horizontal slide valve engines, all scratch-built. Nicely detailed with steps and hand rails, the vertical engine drives a water pump, the horizontal a dummy dynamo with switchboard. The model has been on display for many years and requires a broken pressure gauge syphon re-soldering (the gauge itself is a vintage Bassett Lowke item).

Base 29 x 11 inches
