Probably aunique scale model of an engine that was invented by my great, great grandfather.
First fitted to a wooden drifter in 1884, Elliott and Garrood of Beccles England made steam capstans for the Herring Industry. Thousands were fitted to fishing vessels throughout the UK and Europe.
See it running on compressed air at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=De7LMN0tX2w
Steam boiler is in production.
