Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

It is always difficult to judge the condition of a machine from a picture. As far as I can see from the picture, the only thing missing from the machine, apart from the chimney and the chimney support, is the weight of the weight safety valve. The machine was probably built in the 1920s.

As I said, it is difficult to judge all this from a picture. If you want to put the machine into operation and are not familiar with steam engines, I would advise you to consult a specialist in pressure vessels who will check the boiler and its connections for pressure resistance and tightness. With machines this old, you never know what has happened to the material over the course of many years.
