Started in 1972, the builder ordered the castings and copper for the boiler  from Plastows when they were still at The Old Rectory in Suffolk. Work  progressed over the next eight years to the stage you see here, whereupon he had  a fateful meeting with a much larger engine at a local rally - a photograph of  the event has written on the back \"first saw big Showmans engine\". At  this point, it was back to Plastow with a much bigger shopping list for bits for  their 4 inch scale Fowler Showmans engine \"Princess\" - work commenced \u003ca href=\"..\/3635\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eon  that engine\u003c\/a\u003e which was the end of the road for this one.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe engine is about 50% complete - it's up on wheels, the block  has been machined including ports and passages, crank is fitted, steering  assembled and there is a complete set of commercially cut gears, including  differential. There are a few extra castings, a pair of boiler clacks, three  machined eccentric sheaves for valve gear and pump respectively and a set of  well-thumbed drawings, along with a large quantity of original invoices from and  correspondence with Plastows (who also machined the crankshaft splines and, I  suspect from the correct rim contour, probably machined the flywheel as well).  After nearly forty years kick around a workshop, it's pretty grubby, there is  light surface rust to the flywheel rim which comes off fairly readily with  Scotchbrite.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54010092716373,"sku":"3630","price":2250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/3630-1.webp?v=1779900396","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/part-built-3-inch-scale-burrell-stock-code-3630","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
