3/4 inch scale Bassett Lowke traction engine

One of the nicest Bassett Lowke traction engines I've seen, this one came from a gentleman who bought it new as a kit in 1962. He assembled the engine, made a fine fitted wooden box for it and used it occasionally before storing it away, complete with its original instruction leaflet. Now, well into his eighties, he's decided to go 2 ½ inch gauge – this has gone to make way for the new project.

Spirit fired, the engine shows the typical darkening of paint at the firebox end of the boiler – it's otherwise in excellent condition throughout.
