It's all three actually.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThis is a 4 inch scale Burrell DCC road locomotive, built in the  1990s. Although about 95% completed, it was never finished. I suspect it changed  hands at that point, the majority of the work is to a good standard, but there  is evidence of later hasty attempts to get it running and some pretty grotty  painting. It looks as if it may have been steamed once, although with not a  trace of packing in any of the glands it must have been quite an interesting  experiment.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eBoiler by Valentine Engineering of Raunds, steel  throughout with expanded tubes and fusible plug. Feed by injector and mechanical  pump. Cast iron compound cylinder block with simpling valve, slide valves  actuated by Stephenson's reversing gear with pole reverser on footplate - the motion  is well-fitted and all turns over smoothly. Mechanical lubricator, governor and  steam siren mounted on block. Four shaft, three speed transmission with  differential, winch behind nearside rear wheel with fairleads mounted on tender.  Rubber tyres fitted to road wheels - the front ones require bonding on.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe electrical installation comprises a pair of dynamos, main  generator and exciter.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe canopy is beautifully made and includes a removeable hatch  over the footplate which will make driving the finished engine considerably  easier - it is complete with all twisted brasswork to fit to the engine (indeed  it was only removed so the boiler inspector could get a better look at it last  week).\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eWork remaining includes:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e    \u003cli\u003e      \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eBoiler cladding\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003e      \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eTender tank cover\/footplate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003e      \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eLocking plate for gear selector\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003e      \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eSafety valve bobbins, locking bar and spring\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003e      \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eMotion covers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003e      \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003ePainting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e      \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe boiler comes complete with the manufacturer's twice      working pressure hydraulic test and original material certificates.
