Stuart beam engine - stock code 13241

A Stuart beam engine. Rather grubby, although the oil its covered in has gone a long way to preserving the brightwork.

Runs on air, the pedestal bearing is only secured to the base with one screw, so tends to wander around - another screw would fix it.

Complete with a copy of Andrew Smith's book "Building the Stuart Beam Engine".
