Probably my favourite Stuart engine in my collection:

Am i correct that it only comes as an unmachined  casting set?

Cheers Doug, yes you are quite correct in that it is only offered as a set of raw iron castings. The original engines had a gunmetal cylinder, covers and engine standard as opposed the cast iron Stuart use today.

A very attractive, compact engine. Hope to add one to the Stuart collection someday...

Thanks guy's, it is a very nice engine both in looks and how it runs, a real testament to it's builder!

Philip, that was a treat to watch run.  I add my name to those who have never seen such a beast...really stout little thing and presented nicely on the wood plinth.  If you ever want to part ways with it...you know how to find me!!!

You don't see many of them around Rog, my example was the only one on YouTube for some time. I'm not sure how many casting kits Stuart have sold so far as it has been available for some years. This engine will be staying with me for quite awhile i think!

I don't think I've seen this one before either, what a treat.
