The  work of the late Mr J A Powell of Crewe, some years ago I had the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/archive\/2186\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eWestbury  Atom V\u003c\/a\u003e he built which featured on the front cover of \"Model  Engineer\" in 1947.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eWork to date comprises a finely built chassis, four cylinders  with Walshaert's gear actuating slide valves for the outside cylinders, inside  cylinders actuated by rocking shafts.

Twin axle pumps are fitted, driven  from the rear axle.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe boiler is copper, built with a substantial combustion  chamber. It comes complete with the original flanging formers and much of a  second boiler fabricated.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe tender is largely complete, work to finish off includes  buffers and plumbing.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThere is a complete set of platework, including running boards,  cab sides, front and roof.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe engine arrived here with several decades of muck and sawdust  on it.
