Yes it's a three speed and is/was from the ELR solid flywheel and sprung on the back axle , one of two made to this spec' this is the only survivor of the two apparently.
7 NHP at a boiler pressure of 140 PSI.
All this info' came from a display board on show with the engine along with it's history .
