For Sale | Working model steam drifter with compound engine | 22 July 2021 |
This attractive scale model of a classic early 20th century steam drifter was built many years ago by SBA member John Weatherall. It needs a fair amount of tlc but is a good representation of one of the fascinating little steamships which for many years were the backbone of the UK fishing industry. It has an interesting steam plant which includes a centre flue marine boiler (we can’t be sure what kind of a burner it has from the pictures but the vintage of the model suggests it’s probably a paraffin pressure burner) and a neat little six column compound engine. It looks to have been run fairly extensively in the past and with attention could run again. It is not radio controlled. The vessel is just under four feet long – main dimensions 110cm long, 20cm beam and 35cm from base of stand to top of superstructure. This model is delicate – but all of it is there and it is sold on condition of collection only from Henham (CM22 between Bishops Stortford and Saffron Walden) The family are not in a position to crate it and mail it. £275 or near offer: Contact Amanda Mower ajmower63@gmail.com
