The Boiler is rolled from brass sheet, with a longitudinal join along the bottom and with 4 rows of imitation "rivets". It is 2 5/16" diameter x 6 1/4" long with a safety valve, whistle, steam dome and glass tube type water gauge. The dome should have a screw throttle built in but this is broken off. The boiler would originally have had a wick type meths burner but this is missing.
The cylinder is cast in lead, complete with valve housing and a dummy crosshead trunk guide (there is no cross head). The valve is a round slide valve, controlled by a slip eccentric on the crankshaft for reversing.
The cylinder is approximately 1/2" bore diameter x 15/16" stroke. The spoked flywheel is 3 3/16" diameter steel. There is the remains of a pulley keyed to it but the pully is severely damaged (it appears to be lead). There is a smaller intact pulley at the crank end, which is intended to drive a dummy governor mounted on the cylinder, but this is missing.
The paintwork is not original and is incorrect in places.It is badly scorched so it could do with being redone using high temperature paint.
