The previous  owner did a good deal of work cleaning up, masking all the important bits,  shot-blasting and painting in primer. There are several boxes of parts and a  wooden crate containing all the fasteners removed during disassembly.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eQuite intrigued by this one, it's not something I recognize.  It's of largely fabricated construction, done to a high standard although  utility finish - I suspect it was made in the war, possibly originally fitted in  a ship (the heavy welded sections and neat, industrial-strength welding look  typical of shipyard practice). Cylinder block is in cast iron, twin cylinders,  simple expansion - it's fitted with piston valves, suggesting operation at  elevated presure. There's a gear-driven governor and relatively light,  fabricated flywheel.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eIf anybody knows any more about this one I'd be pleased to hear  from them. In the meantime, if you've been looking for a six foot high, half-ton  project, your search is over.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eHeight assembled approx 6 feet\u003cbr\u003e  Weight 1150 pounds\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54020173234517,"sku":"5196","price":695.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/5196-1.webp?v=1779911686","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/6-x-8-vertical-twin-cylinder-piston-valve-engine-stock-code-5196","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
