A well-advanced traction engine to Hughes' "Royal Chester" design. Work to date is to a high standard, whilst there is still a good bit of work to complete, there is little expenditure required. The silver soldered copper boiler has had its club twice pressure hydraulic test, the engine comes complete with a set of new drawings (although missing sheet 1, the general arrangement you hang on the bedroom wall at the start of the project...).
To inspire you, there's a good one in the archive.
