2 inch scale Minnie agricultural engine

A 2 inch scale "Minnie" agricultural engine, scaled up from Len Mason's popular 1 inch design, serialised in "Model Engineer" magazine in 1969.

At an early stage, work to date includes:

• Flywheel, chimney and wheel rims
• Front axle and perch bracket
• Set of professionally cut gears
• Crankshaft
• Full set of laser cut parts from Model Engineers Laser including spokes, strakes, hornplates and spectacle plate
• Set of unmachined castings to complete with gunmetal rear hubs and cylinder
• Commercially made boiler by John Ellis, as delivered in its original wooden crate

A large engine in this scale, its generously proportioned gears and bearings making for a robust, powerful design. We've had several through our hands over the years, one of the nicest this one which we sold way back in 2006.
