Stuart twin launch - stock code 2432

Stuart twin launch engine with Stephenson's reversing gear. Stiff to turn over and, as usual with such engines, the flywheel is loose where everybody who has picked it up trys to turn it over. It wants pulling apart, easing off, then putting back together with a little sympathy.

On the plus side, it's quite neatly made, fitted with draincocks and no obvious damage or cockups. Identical to the Stuart compound launch but, being simple expansion, it is self-starting.

Height 6 inches
