Summary
A stationary model steam engine consisting of a black metal rectangular box supporting a brass boiler and funnel. The boiler is linked via two copper pipes to a piston which drives a power take off wheel (fly wheel) which in turn drives two gears. These two gears lead through to two further fly wheels. The gears are housed in a red metal frame. To the rear of the boiler is a white drum. The stationary model steam engine rests on a square green metal base with holes all around the edges.
