1 1/2 inch scale Allchin agricultural engine - stock code 9132

Definitely one of the "long term projects", this Allchin appears to have been in build for the last forty years, with the boiler supplied new by Bishop-Ellis in 1979.

Work, whilst progressing slowly ever since, has been done to a high standard - there's some fine machining work in the differential, the front axle/spud pan/perch bracket assembly is a nice model in its own right.

Remaining castings are still available from Reeves, there's a comprehensive listing on their website here.
