Thank you gentlemen for your kind comments. I like the older Stuarts, they teem with history. It was covered in oily rags and hadn't been touched for sixty years according to the chap I got it from.....

A nice old engine. Surely a rare find.

Sorry about all the same pic's but that is the reason I detest computers so much. They make as much sense to me as a politician. :)

Nice one Allan! I find the wiki page helpful with Stuart numbers/sizes, scroll just under halfway down to the section "List of Stuart steam models" and you will find dimensions for each model

[attachimg=2][attachimg=2][attachimg=2][attachimg=2]Hi everyone. This arrived today, I thought it was a number 9 but it's too small and it's too big for a number 10 so all I can think it is, is an old number 8 but I can't find a pic' of one with the shoe type slide for the piston shaft. The gentleman from who I bought it said he'd had it sixty years and it was old then.....
