NEW BUILD exhibition standard
4” scale Rushton traction engine

This working 4” scale Rushton traction engine, began life as a kit which was almost still in kit form when I bought it.

I asked my friend to perform his magic on it. He has built two 4.5” scale traction engines, both to exhibition standard and that is the only way he knows how to build - perfection comes as standard which is shown in the production of this magnificent Rushton. (See video of it running in steam.)



Being a new build it has the new steel boiler, just tested by the boiler inspector to a test at 300psi, and set at 110psi working pressure. The boiler certificate expires

See video of her running in steam-ticks over very smoothly. It has new clack valves, water gauge, injector, lubricator, pressure gauge and fire grate to replace the standard kit fittings.

It comes with a part kit of a canopy which I decided against having assembled and fitted. The new owner can make his own decision - they don’t make driving any easier. Also comes with the blanking off plate and valve for when doing the next hydraulic boiler test.

It has in injector, crankshaft pump, mechanical cylinder lubricator, etc.

Measurements : 48” long, 21” wide, 33” high. Rear wheel diam. 16”

Boiler certificate expires : Aug 2024 Hydraulic and Oct 2021 Steam.

VERY RARE Beyer Garrett, 0-4-0/ 0-4-0,

Royal Chester, Allchin 1.5” scale traction engine.

A wonderful example of top quality model engineering. Many years of highly skilled precision engineering are spent in the workshop to finally get to such detailed miniaturisation. The “Good old days” of home from work then FED, SHED, BED, have virtually disappeared from our culture so such models will soon be a thing of the past - their value as collector’s items can only increase.

Most examples of the Royal Chester are only for indoor display, but this one was built to be run pulling the driver and does so readily. She has an injector, handpump, mechanical cylinder lubricator, working Pickering Governor, Stump pulling cable, etc.

Measurements : 28” long, 11” wide, 16” high, Rear wheel diameter 9”, front wheels 5.5”.

7.25” gauge RARE GWR 54xx 0-6-0,
with driving trolley.

A very rare in 7.25” gauge GWR 54xx - the only one I have ever seen and tremendously powerful. We had it in steam on the rolling road and the exhaust beat was blasting away.

Stuart Turner 501 boiler with ST 10v.

A “high quality” working steam raising boiler and steam operated ST 10v in sparkling showroom condition.

The model, built by a highly experienced model engineer, has been run on steam using the pair of propane gas burners.

The model also has a whistle, displacement lubricator, regulator for steam supply, double propane burner, boiler blowdown valve, etc.

Baseboard measures : 15” square.
