It's spent the last six years sitting in a  gentleman's study near Inverness - the pictures below were taken this week, however  rather than rehash the description, I've lifted it from the archive from when it  sold last time.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWell made triple expansion marine engine, typical of nineteenth century  practice with condensor and air pump, slide valves with Stephenson's reversing  gear.

The same builder was responsible for an  excellent Allchin and the Liverpool and Manchester \"Lion\" we have in  stock and a rather nice Bentley rotary aero engine in 1\/6th scale. The engine is  around 25 years old, and won his local Model Engineering Society's \"Best in  Show\" award on completion.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eComplete with a set of drawings.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eLength 10 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Height 10 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Flywheel 3 inch diameter\u003cbr\u003e  Cylinders 7\/8 + 1 1\/4 + 1 3\/4 x 1 1\/4\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019217621333,"sku":"3708","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/3708-1.webp?v=1779903024","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/triple-expansion-engine-stock-code-3708","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
