3 inch scale Burrell agricultural engine

A collection of machined parts, assemblies and material for a 3 inch scale Burrell agricultural engine to the Plastow design.

Work to date is to an exceptional standard throughout - the pictures tell the story on this one, it comprises:

  • Erected crankbox with hornplates, crankshaft, flywheel, eccentric straps and steering shaft with worm wheel
  • Cylinder assembly, requiring final machining of steam ports
  • Weighshaft bracket, weighshaft and lifting links
  • Front end assembly - smokebox assembly, perch bracket, front axle and wheels
  • Rear wheels & pins
  • Chimney cap
  • Gear blanks, machined and broached
  • Reverser, regulator & brake stands
  • Governor
  • Whistle
  • Flanged copper boiler plates, tubes and barrel
  • Miscellaneous small parts
  • Drawings

An excellent start for anybody wanting to build one of these very popular engines, saving a good deal of work and allowing the rest of the engine to be built on modest size machinery.

If you need some inspiration to get started, there are pictures of a multi-award winning example we sold in the archive here - workmanship was of a similar quality.
