Wanted 4” Miniature Burrell Project
Hi,
Looking for a 4” Miniature Burrell Traction Engine Project. Wanting something part built not complete or a pile of bits not started. Must be a few about somewhere? Maybe tucked away that you’ll never going to get around to finishing? Many thanks, Minibarmy. |

NOT mine.... but this is on eBay... It had sold a few days ago, but it got relisted due to the buyer not realising there was no boiler paperwork with it, despite the seller stating that in the description.... I considered buying it as a 2nd project, but I have plenty to be getting on with with my Foster...... so I must behave.

Thanks.
I have seen both of those for sale, the eBay one is a pile of bits I can buy from Live Steam Models and an uncertified boiler which is pretty worthless, together the components aren’t worth anywhere near the asking price and I’m after a project someone has already made a good start on not going from scratch. The part built on Station Road Steam although on its wheels needs a lot of work redoing as the spokes on all wheels are just wrong! A lot of the parts that come with it are not of any use. I made an enquiry a while back but there’s no manoeuvre on price and we’re quite a distance apart on my valuation to the asking price. |

Hi,
agree on the Station Road Steam 4" - the spokes are a real joke Best Christoph

Already spoken to Terry at TRS. He’s had quite a few enquiry’s about this boiler, unfortunately he hasn’t got any records for it and indicated that it’s 17/18 years old.
Knowing this there’s hardly any value there as you can buy all the items from Live Steam for around £1500 new. |
