Bowman Of Dereham M135 Live Steam Stationary Engine Ideal Restoration

Old Bowman of Dereham,  model M135 stationary type live steam engine,   dates back to the 1930's.   Bowmans used to state these would run for 30 minutes in their original literature and we don't doubt it for a minute,   whenever we have these and give them a quick test steam they always seem to go well.

This particular example appears unrestored and has its burner tray and the oiler,  please study the pictures as whilst this one has been steamed recently it would benefit from a refurbishment or restoration.

Things noticed that the wick burner tube has been soldered and that the oiler tap is a home made effort and really wants redoing.   the engine will come with the remains of its original box.
