2" Clayton undertype live steam wagon project for sale.
Chassis with frame, axels, wheels, tyres, gears, steering, etc all done.
Engine started with pistons and standard slides done. Valve chests and valves done, just need attaching and valve covers drilling.. Sump and engine casing sides present. Crank also done and looks very well enginnered out of one piece of material, with bearings.
There is also a complete and wooden clad copper boiler, with top plate and chimney. Although your model club will need to test the boiler and issue a certificate, my friend is a club boiler tester and has given this boiler an informal test. The boiler was submitted for testing with no peripheral parts. The boiler construction apperas to be quite robust and the applies hydraulic test pressure was taken up to 300 psi and thus a working pressure of up to 150 psi could be used, although normally 100 psi is all you should need. Your own boiler tester will need to check the construction themselves.
We will consider selling the boiler or chassis seperately or together. For info a new Western Steam boiler will now cost over £2,400 and a castings kit from Reeves is currently £1,159 and the differentail gears are another £360 or so. Yes there will be other items to buy like drive chain, boiler fittings, cab material, and material to finish the engine & drive gears, but what a great start to this project, with most of the chassis done and the tyres present too.
Price: £ 695 for chassis with parts. £1,395 for boiler with chimney. Will consider a bit less if purchased together. (No additional VAT to add)
Happy to consider a loco, traction, or stationary/marine/aero engines as a part exchange.
