1 1/2 inch scale Allchin "Royal Chester"

A 1 1/2 inch scale Allchin agricultural to the popular "Royal Chester" design.

An older engine, it runs well on air in either direction, with some wear evident in the big end. A twice working pressure hydraulic test showed various minor leaks from nutted and calked stays in the firebox. The pressure gauge currently doesn't read due to a blocked syphon - the gauge itself tested ok.
