The gears, as you might imagine, are his own work, beautifully  made. The rest of the work is well done, he tended to make jigs and fixtures for  everything he did - so the finely-formed perch bracket with lamp irons you see  rivetted beneath the smokebox is the product of the large three-piece press tool  in the last picture. One has to admire the determination to get the job right  that has a day's work - and about twenty pounds of steel - to produce this one  tool.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRest of the work comprises a silver-soldered copper boiler made to a good  standard, hornplates erected with steering gear, crankshaft, second and third  shafts with all gearing, back axle with differential, machined back hubs, front  and rear rims (taken from the solid) and spokes and a variety of smaller parts.  Gunmetal cylinder has been bored. There is a large quantity of unmachined  castings which looks to be most of that required to complete the engine, winch  wire, works plates and a quantity of tooling including a boiler holding fixture,  wheel building jig and tool for forming strakes to the correct curve to fit the  rims.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete with a set of drawings and copy of Hughes' book \"Building the  Allchin\".    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019934617941,"sku":"5885","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/5885-1.webp?v=1779908602","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/part-built-1-12-inch-scale-allchin-stock-code-5885","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
