4 inch scale Burrell SCC traction engine

A 4 inch scale Burrell SCC agricultural engine, one of a batch of three engines started many years ago by a professional engineer, a man who spent his working life with Lloyds responsible, amongst other things, for the approval of boiler designs.

Plan was to build one engine for each of his children - to that end he bought commercially made boilers and professionally cut gears, with cylinder blocks machined by John Rex.

Work to date is to a high standard, many of the parts stamped up with their respective engine number. It includes:

• CE marked boiler with manufacturer's documentation
• Ashpan
• Professionally cut gears, including differential
• Steering worm, worm wheel, shaft and chains
• Front and rear wheels
• Machined cylinder block
• Part-machined crankshaft
• Crankshaft main bearings and housing
• Smokebox and perch bracket and front axle assembly, with chimney, cap and base
• Unmachined castings including steering and brake wheels, eccentrics, tender step, weighshaft bracket etc

A handsome, technically interesting design, we've sold several of these over the years, including this finely built engine.
