New AdditionsI have just added a few little beauties to my collection,but I am going to drip feed you with them (its my cruel streak coming out!) This litle engine needs a good clean up and a pint of oil and she will be as good as new ! I dont know what make it is, it looks too well made to be a home made engine, and while it looks a little bit like a stuart, it has no markings. Anyone got any ideas what it is?

Pat,
It does look like a Stuart...sort of. May be a homebuilt from plans by any number of makers.
Clean it up, oil it up and lets here how she runs...video too if possible!
cheers,
Roger

A very nice looking engine, I am sure that it will be a great runner.

How big is it Pat?
It's difficult to judge from photos.
Looks interesting, should clean up well.

It definitely has the Stuart look, a very good addition to your collection.

I think one offs are something special I have two Stuarts and one scratch built marine that is less powerful and not aw well engineered but I think still my favorite large because I could replace the Stuarts but never the scratch built

Its 120mm high and the base is roughly 70mm square. I guess it is home made, but it is really well made. Unfortunately, it will be a few weeks at least till i get around to cleaning it up, as i am trying to finish off my "first" restoration which is a lot more work than i first thought.
Here is another model I have, Its a little Marklin Grinder . Has anyone any idea of the model number ? or the year , I cant find it on the internet.
