The engine turns over freely, it's complete with motionwork, valve gear and gearing.
The silver soldered copper boiler is beautifully made, a commercially built job by the estimable Reg Chambers.
Complete with a copy of John Haining's "Model Traction Engine Construction" which, whilst not covering this model specifically, has a great deal of useful information.
