A well engineered model of ‘The Steeple’ steam engine, built by Mr D. Russell of Fraserburgh from drawings by Anthony Mount 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, finished in green paintwork with brightwork, mounted on hardwood plinth measuring 17cm x 17cm, overall 29cm 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 by Mr D. Russell of Fraserburgh from 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, set on eight reeded architectural column supports, eccentric driven steam valve, metal clad steam chamber, steam inlet, spoked flywheel 17cm diameter, finished in black paintwork, mounted on hardwood plinth measuring 21cm x 21cm, overall 24cm high. 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.
A well engineered model of a Boulton and Watt ‘bell crank’ steam engine, built by Mr D. Russell of Fraserburgh from drawings by Anthony Mount based on the 1802 original engine, the single cylinder approximately 1 1/2 inch bore by 2 1/4 inch stroke, with open crank and side rod linkages, steam valve operated from a rim on the flywheel, steam control valve, spoked flywheel 22cm diameter and small spoked belt drive wheel, finished in black paintwork, mounted on hardwood plinth measuring 29cm x 16cm, overall 31cm high. Note: The ‘bell crank’ engine was introduced by Boulton and Watt in 1802. The design was formulated by William Murdock and the Soho foundry manager a Mr Southern. The aim was to supply a small self contained engine, to the smaller manufacturer who could not afford a house built beam engine. The design was called a ‘bell crank’ on account of the shape of the rocking levers. These resembled the levers that transferred the pull of the ropes in a bell tower to the bells. The design was in production from 1797 until 1806, when Boulton and Watt introduced their small self contained beam engine mounted on a cast iron cistern. All of the engines seem to vary slightly one from another. The earliest engines were filled with a form of drop valve. Then came the long ‘D’ valve, followed by the slide valve. This model is based on one from 1802 and has a long ‘D’ valve.
