Engineering have a Wallis agricultural listed on their website but I don't think I've ever seen one in the flesh, or a photo of one. All of the models here look to be of a very high quality, very inspiring stuff! Thanks to all for posting the pictures!

Here is the prototype 3" Wallis built by my late father Les Smith around 1959 / 1960, it makes a nice big engine in 3" scale with an 8" dia boiler.
