227 forum posts 4 photos | 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. |

227 forum posts 4 photos | 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 |

227 forum posts 4 photos | 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. CS. |
