12018
Rather well made, although in recent years having languished in storage where the brightwork has gathered a light coating of rust. Wheels have yet to be fastened to the axles - turned as a sliding fit, it's a Loctite job, the flycranks removing the requirement for quartering.
The motionwork is currently seized - apparently with pistons stuck in bores although, with gunmetal cylinders, we wouldn't expect a deal of trouble freeing it off.
The silver soldered copper boiler appears nicely made, with neatly flanged plates and good solder penetration.
