Stuart beam engine - stock code 1978

A finely-made example of the Stuart beam engine, from the collection of a professional engineer who built a variety of engines over his working life. This engine runs well and is fitted with drain cocks and a displacement lubricator. It is painted in a deep chocolate brown with lacquered bright work.

The Stuart beam engines have very modest steam requirements and will run on a small boiler, right down to the little 2 1/4 inch diameter Stuart 500.

Bore 1 inch
Stroke 2 inches
