3/4 inch scale Taylor Hemmens Allchin agricultural engine

A 3/4 inch scale coal-fired agricultural engine by Taylor Hemmens, who took over production from Michael Holden in the 1970s.

The engine appears to have been steamed in the past, however it will require some recommissioning work.

Gauge glass is broken, the engine itself turns over freely. Paintwork is rather treacly, builder appears to have had shares in Hermetite given the quantity of the stuff under the cylinder block.

Complete with maker's assembly and operating instructions.
