A particularly well put together Stuart Turner steam plant, comprising 504 boiler - the largest of the 500 range - coupled to a finely made beam engine, complete with govenors and the old type turned Watts linkage (the later type were stamped out, which whilst inexpensive to make don't really look like anything the Victorians fitted to a beam engine). Boiler has a water tank and hand pump to feed it, it's complete with a home made spirit burner as well as a gas bunrer - pressure gauge is missing.

The whole thing is mounted on a wooden base - it has light tarnishing to the brightwork which would clean off easily.
