Very clever way they did the valve lifters, have not seen that type before. This engine just keeps getting more interesting!

Thanks for sharing them.I was wondering about the one with the 'feet' on the drive wheels, looks like a rotary duck walker. Was that a real vehicle? It also has a great companion piece behind it on the right, a 'model tree' - great idea!Yes ,this is a Burrell of Thetford traction engine and the date on the drawings is AD 1855 Nov 27 !! a few more pics as well......These are antique engines from the collection of R.O. Clark a local historian and writer of Steam engine collections in East Anglia.

H O Clark was the collector of these engines, his son R H Clark was the writer, and R O Clarke was a motorbike shop in Norwich.
Thanks for the comments, however they should be a bit better and will be worked on before painting. I am being filmed in 2 weeks by the Essex film maker group who are documenting the restoration of the mill at Beeleigh so i shall be saving some of the work for them to film. The restoration will be quite a lengthy undertaking so any footage will not be available for some time!!
