Stuart No.9 horizontal mill engine with governor and water pump - stock code 9714

An exceptionally well built Stuart No.9, one of the best examples of this most handsome of mill engine designs we've seen.

The work of a prolific, highly talented model engineer - responsible for several stationary engines and some of the finest 3 1/2 and 5 inch gauge locomotives we've seen in many years - the No.9 is finished to exhibition standard, with much added detail.

Quality of fit and finish is first class, the engine turns over without a trace of wear or slack in the bearings. The engine runs well on air, there's some video of it here.

Completed in 1975, the engine remains in ex-works condition.
