Superb 4" Burrell SRL for sale

[Engineman]

Going to stick my neck out and say this is the best or one of the best 4 inch scale model of a Burrell 8nhp "Scenic Showmans" double crank compound road locomotives out there. Based on the last Burrell Showmans to be built, No.4092 in 1930 using the well-regarded Live Steam Models drawings with professionally-built boiler by Ward's of Sheffield.

Steel boiler with expanded in copper tubes and fusible plug in firebox. Twin Ramsbottom-type safety valves with solid brass chimneys. Boiler feed by pump geared down from crankshaft and injector, both drawing from newly fitted interconnected bellytanks and tender. The tender has a sight level glass and drain cock and traction engine owners marque plate.

Twin cylinder, double crank compound engine with simpling valve mounted on the tiller-type regulator. Drain cocks operated from footplate. Mechanical cylinder lubricator, the block carries a very effective steam siren and governor.

Three speed transmission with differential, screwdown brakes to flywheel and rear wheels. Winch mounted behind nearside rear wheel, with fairleads mounted on the tender.

Twin dynamo electrical setup as per the prototype Scenic Showmans engines, generating 110V powering the vast array of bulbs. Voltmeter and ammeter on switchboard at front, with knife switch providing power to auxiliary power take-off on screw terminals topped off with a Mather & Platt Manchester plate.

The engine is road-registered with a V5 document and has a custom-built galvanised twin-axle road-trailer with winch, allowing easy one-man loading and unloading and comes with valid steam and hydraulic test. This engine has had a boiler up renovation and is exhibition standard.

The new owner will need to sort a seating arrangment as the old single wheel trolley is not suitable.

£30,000 ono. The first to see her will buy her, she is stunning.

Serious enquires only please. Thank you
