A fastidiously looked after example, housed in a purpose-built wooden case with storage for tools, spares, cylinder and bearing oils, spare gas canister and original maker's handbook with boiler documentation.
We had this in steam for much of the afternoon earlier in the week - the engine runs well, the dynamo lighting the lamp at modest speed. Boiler has a piezo ignition ceramic burner, with automatic cutoff at working pressure.
The gas canisters are of standard type, widely available from DIY and camping stores. There's one part-used and a full one included if collecting, but we can't send by courier.
