A well engineered model of The Steeple live steam engine, built to drawings by Anthony Mount and based on a land engine circa 1860, the single cylinder approximately 1 inch bore by 2 1/8 inch stoke, with open crank supported on steeple supports, eccentric driven steam valve, the single cylinder lagged in planked hardwood with brass banding, steam control valve, spoked flywheel 22cm diameter. The model finished in green paintwork with polished brightwork and mounted on hardwood plinth measuring 22cm x 19cm, overall 30cm high. Note: A Steeple engine is so called because of the resemblance of the piston rod extension to a church steeple. Steeple engines were an early attempt to get away from the beam engine arrangement. The first steeple engines were designed by Napier in the 1830s for use in paddle boats. The cylinder went in the bottom of the boat, the crankshaft was at deck level, and the upper section was housed in a deck house.

A well engineered model of a Simpson & Shipton short stroke rotary steam engine, built to drawings by Stewart Hart based on the 1851 original engine, the steam chamber linked by connecting rods to the open crank, having brass cup oilers, eccentric driven steam valve, metal clad steam chamber, steam inlet, spoked flywheel 17cm diameter. The model finished in black paintwork, mounted on hardwood plinth measuring 24cm x 24cm. Overall height 24cm. Note: This engine was patented in 1848 by two Manchester engineers - Joseph Simpson and James Alfred Shipton. It is a rotary steam engine, but it still uses connecting rods to drive the crankshaft. The 'cylinder' or perhaps better described as a chamber, sits on a table carried on four short columns. Inside the chamber is a piston lying on its side. Passing through the piston is an eccentric shaft, connected to the outer ends of the shaft are cranks. Connecting rods drop from these cranks to the crankshaft carried on bearings fixed to the base. Steam enters the chamber through a balanced slide valve and impinges on the side of the piston rolling it around inside the chamber.

Cab width 24cm. Boiler History: No boiler history available. The model comes together with a photographic history folder of the locomotive and boiler being built.The boiler was tested by the owner when built but the model has never been steamed. The original boilers were designed in the 1930 s by Attilio Franco and Dr Piero Crosti. The British Railways BR Standard Class 9F 2-10-0 is a class of steam locomotive designed for British Railways by Robert Riddles. The Class 9F was the last in a series of standardized locomotive classes designed for British Railways during the 1950s, and was intended for use on fast, heavy freight trains over long distances. It was one of the most powerful steam locomotive types ever constructed in Britain, and successfully performed its intended duties. The class earned a nickname of 'Spaceships', due to its size and shape. At various times during the 1950s the 9Fs worked passenger trains with great success, indicating the versatility of the design, sometimes considered to represent the ultimate in British steam development. Several experimental variants were constructed in an effort to reduce costs and maintenance, although these met with varying degrees of success. The total number built was 251, production being shared between Swindon (53) and Crewe Works (198). This Locomotive No 92024 was built in Crewe and went to Wellingborough shed 15A. The chimney is blocked off in these Locomotives. The last of the class, 92220 Evening Star , was the final steam locomotive to be built by British Railways, in 1960. Withdrawals began in 1964, with the final locomotives removed from service in 1968. Several examples have survived into the preservation era in varying states of repair, including Evening Star .

A 1926 New Hudson 350cc Popular Sports, frame number L9094, engine number L5365, black. New Hudson having been a successful bicycle manufacturer moved into motorcycle production during the pioneer period. The first machines employed Minerva engines with production starting in 1902. They proved to be unsuccessful and production was stop/start until the outbreak of the Great War when manufacturing ceased. Production was then resumed after the war with a range of conventional side valve engine machines. This particular side valve 350 has been in the ownership of two brothers since the late 1950s. Purchased by our vendor's brother for £5 from a gentleman in Cornwall. It would remain in his possession until the early 1960s when it was sold to his brother (our vendor). The motorcycle is in original condition and displays delightful patination. The vendor has rebuilt the engine with a new crank, new bore and piston. He advises us that the machine is running but will require some fettling as the motorcycle has not been on the road since 1965 (expired tax disc October 1965). This charming pioneer motorcycle is now an excellent candidate for an oily rag restoration. ***No V5 and registration number RL 4317 cannot be confirmed***, MOT and tax exempt See illustration

1937 Fiat 500 Topolino PLEASE NOTE: This lot includes a quantity of Topolino spares (photos of which are in the Documents Office). The spares can be collected from near Birmingham Airport within a reasonable timeframe after the sale. - First registered by Manchester County Council on April 13th 1937 - Treated to much past restoration work and part of a private collection since 2008 - Understood to retain its original engine and to be potentially Mille Miglia eligible - Recent recommissioning work has seen attention paid to the engine (new head gasket, cylinder bores honed, fresh piston rings), steering box and brakes A design classic, the original Fiat 500 (nicknamed the 'Topolino' or Little Mouse) was engineered by Dante Giacosa and Antonio Fessia. Powered by a 569cc engine allied to synchromesh transmission, it boasted a 55mph top speed and 45mpg fuel consumption! First registered by Manchester County Council on April 13th 1937, this delightful right-hand drive Topolino migrated to Devon some twenty years later (or so a handwritten annotation to its accompanying green continuation logbook suggests). Belonging to Anthony Turreff and Patrick Hardy during the 1960s, the Fiat was then laid-up for a time before John Evans of Paignton re-registered it with the DVLA during 1983. Nearing the end of an extensive restoration when Mr Evans died in 2001, chassis 013080 was purchased by Chris Jackson who commissioned marque specialist Steve Denning to make it roadworthy again. During his seven-year stewardship Mr Jackson treated the Topolino to a respray (2002), re-trim in Black leather (2003) plus carburettor and gearbox refurbishments (2007). He also had attention paid to its wiring, dynamo and starter motor and fitted new tyres etc. Further fettled by next keeper David Devonald of Warrington, the Fiat entered the current ownership via our July 2008 Buxton auction at a cost of £11,733.75. Potentially eligible for the highly prestigious Mille Miglia Storica, the Fiat was hotly contested with the vendor outbidding a Japanese enthusiast for the privilege of adding it to his collection. Stabled alongside various Bugattis and a W.O. Bentley for the last nine years, '587 XUK' has been sparingly used. Benefiting from a reconditioned steering box, more recent work has included a partial engine refresh (new cylinder head gasket, bores honed, fresh piston rings) and freeing of the brakes. Pleasingly understood to retain its original engine, this lovely UK-supplied Topolino is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file.
