3 inch scale Burrell agricultural engine with driving trolley

An exceptionally well built 3 inch scale Burrell, the work of a highly skilled, award-winning model engineer. Completed in 1998, we bought it from the builder in 2004 - since then it's had one owner, a man who went on to build a 4 inch scale engine to the same design.

A retired professional engineer, the builder's other models included another 3 inch Burrell, a 3 inch scale Foden, pair of 1 1/2 inch scale Allchins, a superb 2 inch scale Burrell Gold Medal Showmans tractor (winner of the Aveling-Barford trophy at the Model Engineer Exhibition) and virtually everything from the Stuart Turner range, including their Major beam and triple expansion engines.

The engine remains in good mechanical order, it's had recent hydraulic and steam tests with new certification issued. The paintwork is bright and generally in good condition, although with some loss of paint to the inner rims of the rear wheels.

Complete with purpose built driving and passenger truck, 53L x 23W x 20H (to seat).
