Description

a- This is a model of a steam engine. The model features a flywheel and arm that move, and a boiler mounted over a furnace on a grey metal base. The wheel is connected to an arm and a cylinder. Most of the wheel section is grey but the spokes are painted red. The furnace is made of metal finished to look like brickwork. On top of it is a silver boiler. It has a glass front to it. On top there is a miniature steam whistle, a pipe and a small threaded pipe end. The top of the chimney is absent. b- This is a small burner slide. It houses the dry fuel tabs while the engine is running. It consists of a brown handle on a metal shaft that leads to a metal tray. The tray houses the tabs during burning. There are several holes on the side of the tray to allow air into the fuel. On the bottom of the tray a serial number is stamped, it reads "DBP930702".
