Default Castings for miniature Fowler ploughing engine

A substantial number of castings for a Fowler steam ploughing engine. Flywheel is 9" diameter, so its probably a 2" scale engine, but not sure which one - webs on the safety valve base plate might give a clue.

The castings are a mixture of cast iron, aluminium, brass / bronze, and include

Chimney and its base
Front axle
Cylinder block (could be twin cylinder), regulator chamber, safety valve plate, regulator and valve slides
Flywheel (9" dia)
Gear blanks
Winding drum
Front and rear wheel hubs
Bearing brackets
Other brackets probably relating to the winding drum mounting and its drive train
Other miscellaneous castings

These were donated to our Model Engineering Society, and are not required and so up for sale at £300.

Collection from Guildford, Surrey, UK.
