Nice combination of boiler and engine. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, but TBH the Ajax could really use a 504, or similar. It was some work keeping water in the boiler for long. Without refilling it ran at most 15 minutes before the boiler was low enough for concern unless it was just idling

We don't see the excellent offerings of Tiny Power on here anywhere near often enough!

That's a nice one!!!

Thanks, I was happy to get this one. It was by my deductions built sometime in the late 50s or 60s, judging from the age of rest of the items from the same builder.
 Tiny Power is still in business, building fine steam launches. They do not, even if asked very nicely, offer scale model castings any more.  :'(
