Can any body identify this old engine,

It's slightly taller than a D10, it's twin cylinder double acting with Stevenson reverse gear on the inside and a water pump driven from a cross head. and is about 7/8" bore.












Thank's,
George.

I've no idea what it is, but it's just the kind of thing Bernhard would have in one of his open launches.

What an interesting engine! Sorry, I have no clue about the maker (except that it looks British to me).
Does it run well?

Hi to all,
The engine is approx 7" high x 8" wide across the frames  the wooden base has not been included.
I originally said that the pump was driven from a cross head but that is not so, it's driven by an eccentric mounted between the valve rod eccentrics to an arm with a pivot post  which is pivoted in the middle of the arm and then attached to the pump.

It runs very well on air and to my knowledge has never been steamed, with the valve gear on the inside it's a very difficult engine to adjust but with patience it now runs well.
It was found in a junk shop in Birmingham a number of years ago by my friend who didn't pay a lot for it but he can't remember how much but not a great deal.

By the look of the engine standards we are inclined to think that it is a Stevens engine.

Hopefully somebody can identify it.
George.
