A 1 1/2 inch scale Burrell single crank compound agricultural engine, a rare model in any scale - we've had one or two of this size over the last twenty years.
An older engine, it requires some repair and recommissioning - rear wheel spokes have had some trauma in the past, the regulator bracket has cracked through, it could be brazed back together.
Boiler is by John Ellis, a finely made all silver-soldered job - we have some history for it, it's had a hydraulic test in the workshop, boiler and fittings all ok, glands leak copiously!
