One of the rarer model mill engines, the Tangye was designed by Edgar Westbury and serialised in "Model Engineer", based on one of Tangye Ltd's smaller mill engines supplied in the latter part of the nineteenth century. An older engine, this one has been well-made, turns over freely and has a boiler feed pump and displacement lubricator. Although the paintwork is not dreadful, it would be a worthwhile project to strip and repaint into something possibly a little less flamboyant.

Length 9 inches
Flywheel 4 1/2 inch diameter
