Words and pictures  below are from that time, apart from the base board which has gone missing in  the intervening years it looks the same now.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eAnother one of those models where pictures are probably more  useful than words. The work of a highly skilled and prolific engineer who  produced both traction engines and locomotives before moving to clocks. He built  a number of these before tackling Claude Reeve's musical longcase clock - widely  seen as the \"Everest\" of clock making in terms of the quantity and  complexity of machining - including a superbly made wooden case. He then went on  to design his own year-going regulator - the design was published in  \"Engineering in Miniature\", the original clock has been keeping time  alongside the Allchin for the last ten years.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eI've had enough Allchins now for everybody to know what they  are. Suffice to say this is built to the Hughes' \"words and music\"  with silver-soldered copper boiler. One of the finest I've had in, standard of  work is excellent throughout, both the machining and painting.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe engine was test run when new, since when it has been on  display in the builder's house - it remains in as-new condition mechanically and  runs well on air.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54020028236117,"sku":"7799","price":5750.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/7799-1.webp?v=1779909814","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/1-12-inch-scale-allchin-agricultural-engine-stock-code-7799","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
