Stuart beam engine - stock code 11006

A Stuart beam engine on a wooden base, complete with displacement lubricator.

The engine runs well on air, with some wear evident in the crank bearings.

Curiously, it has a fabricated steel beam rather than the original cast iron one. Stuart list castings for the engine separately – if desired, it could be replaced at modest cost.
