All our engines come as ‘fully machined’ kits. We are the ‘old fashioned’ machinist, and you are the equivalent to the ‘fitter’. Each kit is designed to be assembled, with our support, using hand tools only, such as spanners, files, Allen keys etc. No machine tools (lathes, mills, welders for example) should be required as everything comes just requiring fettling, de-burring, hand finishing, final fitting and assembling, plus painting in your choice of livery.
We do recommend the use of portable hand held tools (like a drill, grinder, power file etc) to assist with fitting and speeding up the cleaning process but these are more to make the cleaning up quicker and easier than a necessity. All parts are supplied unpainted with any fasteners required are also supplied.
All our boilers come fully assembled and hydraulically tested to full British standards. Detailed and comprehensive assembly instructions and Isometric drawings are supplied with every kit plus we also offer a full telephone and email support service to all our customers.
