Stuart James Coombes with generator - stock code 6692

A particularly well made Stuart "James Coombes" table engine, complete with dynamo and lamp, the whole plant mounted on a wooden base with individually laid tiles. It runs beautifully, there's a clip made by the builder here.

From a collection of stationary engines recently arrived from the builder, including Galloway's non-dead centre, Stuart triple expansion, Westbury diagonal paddle and "ME" beam engines. His other work includes clocks, locomotives and traction engines, all built to a similar standard over a forty year modelling career - current projects include a "Red Wing" IC engine and Southworth steam pump, after which a regulator clock is in the planning stages.
