A well engineered model of this very popular engine designed originally by H.R.Plastow based on a 6nhp agricultural engine. The copper boiler is fully silver soldered.
The engine has 2 speeds with Stephensons valve gear and pole reverser on the footplate. Boiler feed is by injector and crankshaft driven water pump with bypass valve. It has a differential and a winch fitted to the nearside hind wheel. In 3″ scale this engine is light and easily transported and is an ideal Rally Field Engine.
Completed in 1996 the engine has been well maintained by it’s previous owner and has a Boiler Certificate until April 2010
Price: £SOLD
A unique opportunity to purchase an extremely rare not to mention large 3” Scale Compound Burrell Agricultural Traction Engine.
This engine was completed in the early 90’s and has never been offered for sale on the open market until now.
We don’t know of any other compound version of this scale of engine so this truly is a rare opportunity to purchase something very special. The engine comes complete with a FULL Boiler Certificate valid until April 2010. The engine is in perfect mechanical working order and is ready to rally for this season. Finished in Dark Green with Red Wheels – Professionally lined with fine detail to Wheels and Body.
Compared to other 3” Scale Models you may of seen this would easily put itself amongst the smaller 4” scale engines due to it having a larger than normal Boiler and Cylinder Block, obviously to cater for the compound motion of this particular model.
>>We know that this model traction engine will not be in stock long hence we have pre-advertised it before the pictures are available<<
IF you were looking at purchasing a smaller 4” Scale Compound Engine of any make in today’s market place you would be looking at paying in the region of upwards of £18K – £22K that is if you can find one for sale of this quality.
Because of its size this will make a great first engine for a new enthusiast or to add to a steam veteran’s collection.
This engine can be viewed at our Milton Keynes Showrooms, please call for more details.
This is a well proportionalist model of this popular single cylinder agricultural engine. This model has been built by a professional model engineer of many years. This really is a rare opportunity to purchase a traction engine of this size. we are not aware of another engine of this type as most of the Fosters are of a 4″ Scale – This engine stands 6Ft to the top of the chimney, over 3Ft wide and over 8ft in overall length. Weighing in at just over 1 Tonne. This is without doubt the ‘Best Size’ Rally engine you could buy – easy to move around the rally field and even better it can be a real performer on the ‘Road Run’.
This is a Large Image – Please click on the icon on the Right to enlarge….
Completed in circ 1985 -this engine has had little use over the past few years – comes complete with current boiler certification and new steam test. Mechanically the engine is superb and will not be for sale long at this price.
Would benefit from a New Paint Job at some point in the near future – This itself we would estimate add £5000 to its current value – We would charge £3000.00 to carry out the repaint if required – the engine would then look as good as New.
If you were commissioning this engine to be built in the current market you would be looking at spending upwards of £55K-£65K – Plus you would have to wait 12-18mth for delivery!
Once again another rare find by GNS – Normally these are found in the market place in 1″,1 1/2″ & 2″ Scale – This Large 3 1/2″ Scale Alchin is a fabulous looking engine and would make a fabulous first engine for a new enthusiast.

An excellent 7 1/4 inch Gauge Bagnall Locomotive, complete with steam-raising blower complete with driving truck with built-in water tank and air braking system.
Built approximately 10 Years ago to the MJ Engineering design, the engine has a Franklin & Bell steel boiler with expanded-in tubes, twin Ramsbottom-type safety valves, 90psi working pressure.
Fit and finish is excellent throughout, attention to detail goes right through the entire outfit.
I’ve had the engine in steam today and on a track, It runs extremely well, even notched up, and steams freely. The injectors are reliable, only one is needed in normal use – they pick up cleanly from 60psi and inject down to less than 40. As with most narrow gauge engines, the combination of size, power and accessibility of the controls make for an undemanding, easy to drive engine.
Could at some point do with a new paint job on the Tender and Smoke Box, but in general good overall condition.
Locomotive:
Length 50 inches x Width 21 1/2 inches x Height 35 inches
Tender:
Length 46 inches x Width 21 1/2 inches
Boiler Barrel: 9inch Diameter
Weight approx 5 cwt including tender
