Westbury diagonal paddle engine - stock code 6694

A diagonal twin cylinder paddle wheel engine, to the Edgar Westbury design with feathering blades. There's a clip of it running 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, 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.
