"Serajunge" were made by Pollit & Wigzell of Sowerby Bridge about 1889.' Condition Report: This fine exhibition model is built to a very small scale with all elements present. However due to the small scale of the model some of the components are so small that it is impossible for them to work efficiently or work a all. It would not be practical to run this model in a pressure working environment. Lubrication is too small to work efficiently. We feel you should buy this model as a static exhibition piece. The motion of the engine moves but feels very tight. Condition Report Disclaimer
