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

Pre lockdown I purchase a Stuart 10 H and boiler from TM
Engine is covered in oil and needs a good clean .
Tried it with air low pressure and the piston was in the right place and it self started.
There feels like no wear but cleaning may revel other wise
