I've been given, what appears to be, a kit of castings and materials to make a static engine. Unfortunately there were no drawings or document identifying the model name or supplier. I've done a quick search on the internet and found it is not a Stuart model so I'm hoping someone may be able me identify it.

Hi Clive

Looks like Tina from GLR to me, If you look on there web site there are pictures of the individual castings.

Hope this helps Paul

Hi Paul

Many thanks and you are spot on with the model. I went onto their site and looked at the casting which bear the same numbers as those on the parts I have. I'm not a steam model builder so I'll probably sell the kit on to someone more likely to complete it in the manner it deserves.

Clive, have you got the bed (cast aluminium, about 12.5" by 5", 1/2" thick) and/or the flywheel (cast iron, 6" diameter, 6 spokes) ? you look to have the rest of it.

Unfortunately the bed plate and flywheel were not in the box. However I do have some 15mm thick Ali plate which although will need some chopping our won't need facing.

They're available separately from GLR, totalling about £70. Unfortunately I've recently bought a set myself, or I'd have been interested in making you an offer sad
