Project Miniatures
This is a section designed for those engines we feel will need work to return (or get them into) a running condition. Ordinarily, miniature traction engines listed for sale here will be supplied as seen with no new boiler certification (any previous paperwork we have will, of course, stay with the engine). We will appraise the engines and let you know our opinion of what needs doing to them the best we can however, as with all vehicles offered for sale, we always recommend coming to see them for yourself.
We are able to carry out work on traction engines in our workshop but, if bought as a project from this list, any work carried out here will normally be chargeable as a workshop job and not included in the price – each engine is different and whilst some are in need of a little tinkering to get right, others require a lot more. Please don’t hesitate to give us a call to talk through any queries you may have.
