A chap at work brought in this engine for me to identify he friend told him it was english

any way took some picks
I didnt realise how big and heavy they are .
he said his father owned it and passed it onto him. the Piston isnt original butor the burner but he still has fun running it.
sorry for the compuer in the way but was on my desk at work.

good to see some of the decal still intact.

Graham-Jilly

yes it in great condition

I didnt want to let it go

I see its got the same Logo as Chris's which we think is the earlier decal. The top of the whistle isn't original. The top just unscrews and was obviously lost at some time and a new top made for it.
Its also had the lever snapped off the whistle which is a common problem but easily fixed. Just tell them to stop using serrated pliers on the handle to sound the whistle.

But the rest looks in pretty good condition, thanks for the photos

That's got a water level plug so it's a slightly later model than mine, but the top of the SV looks a little odd. Mine's currently at the decal makers so can't check for sure. It's interesting to note that it still has the same decal on it as mine. BTW has he been in better sounds recently as someone walked in there with one yesterday. Ask him if he wants to buy some decal for it,

Cheers

Chris

, I better put my glasses back on i can't tell the difference between the SV & the whistle with out them ,

Quick question.
Is the writing on the logo gold, or is it just clear and the brass shows through?

I forgot to tell you Tony, I asked the decal maker about that and he has my engine and it's definately gold writing not clear with the shiny brass showing underneath.

Cheers

all good, Chris.

The words are in gold colour.
and he still has the handle for the whistle. he made a wooden box for it so it is carried in that. His father has died and left him the engine and wasnt too sure what it was. his neighbour told him it was made in england

dont think it was him chris as its the only engine he owns and not realy interested in them but he is keeping this as it was his fathers.

That's great G-J. Can totally understand why you don't want to give that one back

Cranko

I Could really get to like that, about what age is it please

flywheel61

There doesn't appear to be any information, in S,S & S on a direct accurate time line (unless Tony has some) but I think probably late 1940's early 50's as it still has the old decal like mine but has the later water level plug which mine doesn't.

Cheers
