I should have known, when one of these came in two weeks ago and I wrote how rare they were, that it was almost a certainty that another would pop up within days!

Stuart Real vertical, upside down to modern eyes but the way steam engines started. This one is reasonably well made, has been much-run and is horribly painted. However, nothing's broken or significantly deranged - it could be stripped, painted and mechnically overhauled up all for the less than the price of a set of new castings.

Height 16 inches
Flywheel 7 inch diameter
Bore 1 inch
Stroke 2 inches
