4 inch traction engine for sale

This fantastic engine is larger than what we usually deal with. Built to a high standard with castings and boiler produced by Live Steam Models. This one has been put together with great attention to detail by a talented engineer and is certainly an eye-catching model. It seems to have led a bit of a charmed life, never really doing much work, just pottering about the previous owners garden, being too large to make it past the gate. As such it is in fantastic condition both aesthetically and mechanically. It has seen such a small amount of use that there are still machining marks in the trunk guide and paint on the gear teeth! Runs nicely in both forward and reverse and moves nicely through the gears with high and low speed. It has been test run on air and driven about the Maxitrak car park. Fitted with a steel boiler produced and certified by LSM. The engine is fitted with a mechanical lubricator, injector and crankshaft pump. Removable seat mounted on the towbar. Although this is a steamable model there are some areas that are incomplete. There is no gear cover or cylinder lagging sheet. The rear wheels will also need riveting as they are currently bolted.

It was last used over ten years ago and has been stored indoors since.

Built originally in , with a freshly re-tubed professional steel boiler all original plate certificates included , this is a solidly built and ready to rally machine. She's on a new 10 year professional boiler ticket and although the top end is not fresh and new, it still turns over nicely without blowing past too much. It's one of the freest turning over Traction Engines we have ever had in! The paintwork and lining is not bad either, there is certainly the odd chip and scuff all over the engine as you'd expect for a rallied engine, but the overall effect is still tidy, and we think the livery suits it particularly well. All the usual bits and bobs are there, crank pump and injector to get the water in, and a water lifter to fill up the tank. Mechanical lubricator on top of the cylinder. The tires are glued onto steel rings so that you can still see the steel strakes underneath showing through.

As the workshop gets ever busier building new locomotives, the chances of this getting in any time soon are getting more and more remote, so here it is, wheeled out into the daylight for the first time this year. A beautifully built 4 inch scale Foster - I would rate it as one of the top two or three I've had to this design over the years. Machining is very crisp throughout, paintwork well done, not overly flamboyant and in good condition, detailing is excellent with correct use of locking nuts on bearing caps, thread holes for jacking screws in the valve chest cover, canvas-covered check chain between the main steering chains - the whole thing is a particularly well made engine. It was last used over ten years ago and has been stored indoors since. The reason for its lay-up was a perforated tube in the top row of the boiler, strange given the condition and thickness of the others is good. At a pinch it could be blanked off and the engine used as-is, a proper job would be to knock it out and expand another in.

Completed in December we are pleased to offer for sale this particularly well put together and presented Burrell Single Crank Compound engine built up from Steam Traction World Kits. The SCC makes for an interesting model and is quite a rare engine. They drive in a very similar way to the standard single cylinder version but with the added benefit of more power, improved efficiency and some extra weight over the front end. With the addition of the belly tanks there is little chance of this engine "popping a wheelie" even with the stoutest of drivers. This one comes with both a single and double seat arrangement. This engine has had a number of improvements from the standard Steam Traction World design having had a Foster style lubricator fitted and a number of steam fittings change to those from R A Barker. The canopy is another nice addition and for ease of driving there is a cut out at the rear which can be easily removed, it is also fitted with LED lights for use in the evenings.
