Jo the same e-bay seller has an early Bamford Tulip engine for sale that you may want to copy the photos of for when you get round to doing yours Oh and he also has a set of Robinson "Chippy" X-type castings for sale for those that may not have a set.
Jo, What would you expect these to go for.Colin
Graham, any idea what the part top right is meant to be from?

Graham, Jo,How many castings make up the set and what are they. Is there a complete set in the picture.Thanks,Colin

I wouldn't think the pulley casting is for that.Cheers Graham.
More now she has given the link to a greater bidding audience While on the subject of future projects I cam across this 500page book with a lot of illustrations of steam engine details. Not sure if it has come up here before but a good reference for anyone wanting to add that period detail to an engine or find a complete one to base a model on.http://www.survivorlibrary.com/library/a_handbook_on_the_steam_engine_for_small_and_medium_engines_for_engine_makers_1902.pdf
Graham what do you think the current cost of a set would be from the new foundry?JPS plenty of sawdust on my CNC
