A superb model of a Marshall portable engine in 1 1/2 inch scale to the W.J.Hughes design published in "Model Engineer". Whilst many hundreds of his super-detailed Allchin designs have been built over the years, the portable engines are a rarity. This one is beautifully built, the fit and finish of all parts is exceptional. As with all Hughes' designs, the model is highly detailed, right down to a detachable key for the boiler blowdown valve.
