Boys Toys - Burrell Traction Engine cost more than a shilling

LR-17612 - Little steam from the Dicken's festival at Portsmouth historic dockyards last weekend, other toys will be available shortly.
Sorry there is no smelly vision, nothing like a bit of H2O and some Welsh steam coal with oil and grease to get the senses going.
I can only assume from the smoke box door that this is a model of a Charles Burrell and Sons traction engine originally made at their St Nicholas Works in Thetford, Norfolk England. YOu can get them in kit form from Steam Traction wolrd here's the price list just in someone wants to buy you one for Christmas from St Nicholas.
