10hp Duplex semi portable. Shipped to a Mozambique diamond mine in 1881.
Firebox and front tube plate have been removed, she will need a new firebox, front half of the barrel,tube plate and smokebox. The engine is mostly complete with a few items missing. Outer wrapper on boiler will need a small amount of building up on two hand holes.
This is a rare and very beautiful engine with one enormous set of ball (4") on it's governor!!!
This engine is a real eye catcher....if you want to restore a portable then this must be the one to have!!!
£12,000 ono.
