As many of you know, I'm auctioning donated engines, on the Steamtoys Forum. On behalf of the Rainbows Children's Hospice.

Here is the second one, in the series..... Tubal Cain's, Polly.

Just as she came to me. Not done any cleaning......














I just filled with water and meths. Then oiled her important little places.




Just a few hours in. Standing at £60!   :thumbup:

I have plans for that one, I believe, in his 2 books of toy steam engines. Really nice condition!  :thumbup:

Thanks Steve!  :beer:


This is the third of the donated engines. Kitten, designed by Tubal Cain.

Just as it arrived. I haven't cleaned it.

Filled up with water and meths, and oiled round.

The revs were higher than the video seems to show. Listen to the soundtrack.......

Overall height, 5.25". Or, 135mm.......



 
Silver soldered, 35mm dia. x 4" long boiler........




It just needs a bung, for the burner!
