Westbury diagonal paddle engine - stock code 12989

We sold this one back in 2015 to a long time customer in Switzerland.

It's recently come back to us as part of a large collection of engines, in much the same condition as we sent it out ten years ago. Words below are from last time it was here, the pictures opposite were taken in recent days.

A diagonal twin cylinder paddle wheel engine, to the Edgar Westbury design with feathering blades.

From a collection of stationary engines recently arrived from the builder, including Galloway's non-dead centre, Stuart triple expansion, Stuart James Coombes 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.

Includes free UK shipping.
