4 inch scale Burrell 6nhp agricultural engine

A 4 inch scale Burrell agricultural engine, assembled from a Steam Traction World kit the engine has come to us from a long-time friend of the company and his son - both highly experienced steam engineers - in part exchange for a full-sized engine.

Well painted when first built, it now needs some light cosmetic refurbishment - spraying in the cylinder block and front end in black, followed by a seriously good clean, would transform the look of the thing.

The engine has been serviced in our works, the boiler hydraulic and steam tested with thickness readings taken & new certification issued. Work done at this time included:

  • Replacement pressure gauge fitted, original out of calibration limits
  • Leaking regulator replaced with our standard graphite-filled PTFE type
  • Unreliable injector replaced with one of the estimable Mr. Holroyd's excellent instruments (a thing of beauty in its own right, it must be said)
  • New safety valve spring fitted, safety valve reset

The engine steams freely and runs very well - the tender-mounted seat with jockey wheel providing a comfortable perch from which to drive.

Offered complete with firing irons, a starter kit of coal and water, and 12 months warranty. We would be more than happy to give half a day's instruction on the steaming, running and disposal of the locomotive to a new owner.
