Boiler Maker Modelworks
Boiler Year 2005

Condition Ready to go
Asking Price SOLD


An example of the popular 4″ scale Burrell single cylinder traction engine built using kits supplied by Modelworks, predecessors to Steam Traction World. A very presentable miniature which is in generally good condition inside and out.

Key Features:

  • The welded steel boiler with expanded tubes was made in 2005 and is accompanied by a handful of historical boiler reports. We would be happy to include a new commercial boiler inspection if requested.
  • A single-cylinder, 2-speed arrangement with a slide valve actuated by a Stephenson’s linkage.
  • Mechanical water pump and steam injector fitted for filling the boiler when in steam, as standard.
  • Steam siren, mechanical lubricator, and pressure release valves alongside a dummy governor. Also fitted with a full width chimney base for better firing and a cylinder end cover which helps with the looks.
  • Well-built to a good standard throughout, typically of these high-quality kits. It has been maintained well.
  • The paintwork is largely in good condition. It is a simplistic livery painted in black with red wheels and flywheel, offset by simplistic lining on the wheel spokes.
  • The wheels are on rubber tyres, perfect for use on hard ground or tarmac. It is registered for use on the road with a V5C.
  • Includes a half-day tuition session, if requested by the buyer. 

Overall, a nicely presented miniature which is very honest and looks the part.
