Yes but no Watt's parallel motion like my favorite beam engines.

My favorite too! 🤠

Never seen one quite like that, but think it to be exceptional. Couldn't be any smoother in operation, well done on that restoration!

Just finished a cosmetic restoration of this large model engine but know nothing about it except that it's old (but now with a new wooden base). Any thoughts? For reference the heavy brass flywheel is 14 in. (35 cm) diameter. The columns of the crosshead guide are topped with oilers which allow oil to seep onto the uprights through tiny holes.
