Stuart 504 + No.8 steam plant - stock code 2387

A well-constructed electric light plant based on a Stuart 504 boiler with original Stuart blowlamptype burner, coupled to a No.8 horizontal engine. The engine drives a dynamo which in turn feeds a switch panel and up to six lamps. The boiler is fed by injector.

David and I had a most enjoyable morning playing with this one, the engine runs very well, the injector picks up cleanly, the dynamo produces current in the appropriate manner. Ideal winter backup for the workshop, who needs a Honda generator.

Base 26 x 11 inches
