1 1/2 inch scale Allchin traction engine "Royal Chester"

A 1 1/2 inch scale Allchin agricultural engine to Bill Hughes' highly-regarded "Royal Chester" design, an older engine which has come to us as part of a larger collection from the late owner's daughter.

The boiler has had a twice working pressure hydraulic test with new certification issued - only leak noted was from the pressure gauge union.

The engine runs in reverse but not forwards - it needs the eccentrics resetting - with some wear apparent.
