Offered for sale on behalf of the owner we have this charming 4" Foster, built in 1992, of the extremely popular Live Steam Models design. These engines are well proportioned and under working conditions capable of pulling up to 7 tonnes! These models were based on the 7hp Foster, engine number 14422 of 1924.
Key Features:
- Welded steel boiler (built by E. Tirrel for Live Steam Models) and includes a folder of historic boiler inspections up to the present day. Working pressure 120psi. Please speak to us about boiler testing options going forward.
- Two-speed, single cylinder arrangement with slide valve actuated by Stephenson’s link. A typical agricultural general purpose traction engine design.
- Mechanical water pump and steam injector fitted for filling the boiler when in steam, as standard.
- Water lifter, Steam whistle, mechanical lubricator, and Ramsbottom safety valves.
- Pickering Governor.
- Winch with wire.
- Mechanically, it has been machined and built to a good standard throughout.
- Cosmetically, the paintwork is particularly good. There’s some presentable lining out throughout which gives it a nice look.
- The engine is road registered, and the wheels are fitted with vulcanised tyres for a smooth and comfortable ride.
- Includes riding seat.
- Includes a half-day tuition session, if requested by the buyer.
Overall, this is a nicely presented Foster; although one of the earlier built engines of its kind, is in a very good and presentable condition, ready and waiting for its new owner to enjoy for many more years to come.
