A 1 1/2 inch scale Allchin, largely complete, requiring cladding and painting. It's obviously been run on air (the free-running motionwork and air hose connected to the blowdown was a bit of a clue) but has never had a fire in it. The commercially built boiler was supplied new by Bushell in 1990, a nicely made thing, complete with original test certificate documenting the 200psi initial hydraulic test for 100psi working pressure.

The engine turns over smoothly, it hasn't been finished with any finesse - potential here to make a decent engine for little expenditure other than hours with files, emery cloth and a paint brush.
