| 'SIDE ROD' TABLE ENGINE |
 A rare and unusual horizontal table side rod engine. The double connecting rods fitted with Jib and Cotter small ends, and marine type big end, single eccentric driven slide valve, and belt driven watt governor, connected to a simple butterfly valve.
It is quite easy to make and has a small wide flywheel
The model illustrated has been highly personalised showing what a little imagination and a second flywheel can do.
The base is aluminium and should not require machining, the flywheel cast iron, and the rest of the castings are gun metal.
Cylinder 1" Bore x 1 1/2" Stroke - Base length 10" - Flywheel 5" dia.

| 'M.E.' BEAM ENGINE |
 T he engine is of the centre column type. The design resembles that of the type of engine made by William Fairburn in the period 1840 - 1850.
The very earliest practises of the use of the engine house building as part of the steam engine structure soon gave way to the development by the engineers of the day of self-contained engines, the beam engines being the first of these in all its variations. These various types have always been popular with model engines, as is this centre column type.
Length 13 1/2" - Width 9" - Height 8 1/2" - Cylinder 1 1/4" Bore x 1 1/4" Stroke Flywheel diameter 9 1/4"
Constructional series started in the Model Engineer 1st October, 1959.

| 'TREVITHICK'S' DREDGER ENGINE OF 1806 |
 A one-sixteenth scale model of Richard Trevithick's High Pressure Dredger Engine of 1806.
Richard Trevithick "The father of the steam locomotive" and responsible for the working of steam engines at "high" pressure, the full story is conveyed by T.D. Walshaw in the Model Engineer Vol. 159 No. 3809. It is most interesting and is well worth reading.
This fascinating and historically important engine is interesting to build and with its self-contained steam plant the finished engine is a pleasure to own and great fun to steam, for those who may need a little help the engine is covered by a construction series in the Model Engineer.
Flywheel 6 3/4" x dia. - Height from top of base approx. 11"
Overall height approx 14 1/2" - Overall width approx. 5"
As featured for construction by Tubal Cain in the Model Engineer Vols. 159 - 160
