I don't think there are any left over here with the proper 'swing-type' changeover kit like those two have.

Great pics, thanks for posting.

It is a 1906 Buffalo Pitts built in Buffalo New York, 8hp which is about the same as 4NHP. (6 1/2" bore x 9" srtoke), 265 rpm governed speed. A very powerful engine for its size, haven't managed to find a task beyond its capabilities yet. It weight 3 1/2 tons empty. Very large boiler for the size of the engine, absolutely no trouble in keeping up steam. PM me if you want any more information.

Have a look at the www.highlandssteam.org.au website and the 2010 gallery for some excellent photos.
