A distinctive   looking engine with half canopy and huge, straked back wheels for working across   the Fenland potato fields, it survives in preservation to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe work of a prolific and talented builder (see this month's \u003ca href=\"\/products\/july_2004\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003enews   page\u003c\/a\u003e), this four inch scale model was completed in February of this year and   exhibited at the Yorkshire Model Engineering Exhibition at Harrogate in May. It   has been run on air but never steamed - it is brand new.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eSteel boiler by Holt with expanded in tubes. Feed by second   shaft-driven mechanical pump and injector.
