From ebay listing.

The kits came fully machined and were basically a 1/2 size version of the W Hughes 1.5 inch scale Allchin.

Pre-assembled wheels were available as an optional extra.
thats my one??

YES it is,  and I did say it came from the ebay listing to be fair to you.

So there is no confusion, members please note that the pictures I posted in reply to Gil's request were of the ebay item that slash1953 purchased.

Also, the completed traction engine the seller used in the listing to illustrate what they looked like assembled is mine, which was used with my approval and which he stated, so all fair and above board.

Stuart
no worries bud,just looked familiar thats all.Thanks.

Looks to have all the important parts; should make a great project for you.

If you ever get tired of it, please let me know! 😂
The kit is complete even down to a bag of dried up hermetite!!
Not a sign of rust on anything and still packed as it left the factory with hand written lables.
Not bad for a 43 yr old kit!!

Hi,Has anyone heard of Michael Holden who used to make engine kits in the 70's?
Ive just bought a kit made in 1978 thats 100% complete and with original invoice etc.
Its a 3/4 scale model of a 1909 Allchin.
Many thanks.
