I'm sorry Nick, but that engine looks just a bit too dirty and scruffy to add to your fine collection. Heck, it is even missing some key parts.

I think you'd best just re-box that poor dilapidated beast and send it off to my place, where dirty and scruffy engines like that one can properly feel at home!!!    ;c)

 :D  :D  :D


It was bad enough having one 50 here waiting for a deep cleaning, now I’ve somehow found two of them in the past month that need the same amount of cleaning!!!  :D  :D

Winter needs to get here soon so I can have some down time to spend on these…

The new arrival has cuts in the underside where the later model does not… Mike has confirmed that his red horseshoe 50 also has these cuts

That thing must weigh a ton!  Also, that governor is pretty impressive too!
