2" scale Aveling & Porter compound steam roller
 

For Sale,

Part built 2" scale Aveling & Porter compound roller to John Haining's design. Based on Aveling's 1930 AB/AD/AF designs.

I believe this was started around 35 years ago, it is largely complete, the biggest job is that it requires the copper boiler assembling. There are two unmachined castings with it, for the water pump and the gear change bracket, all other missing parts could be fabricated. It's a heavy thing and nicely made so far - I've loosely assembled it for pictures.
