A large quantity of machined parts, material, castings and boiler for a 4 1/2 inch scale Foden steam wagon. Boiler was supplied by John Rex Model Engineers, they also fabricated the stainless steel water tank and machined the crank and cylinder block.

We've had several of these in over the years - they steam well and are fast on the road. There are pictures and some video of a good engine we sold last year in the archive, built to the same design.
