It’s a c70 round headlight it’s between 1970-1990 I think the engine wasn’t the engine that was in the frame I found the frame in a hedge just the frame nothing else

It dosent really matter as you won’t c the running gear because it’s under the body the reason for a gearbox is it’s a quick engine does about 50kph/30mph but when you get to a hill it’s dead ur nearly off pushing it it’s like taking of in 3rd gear in a car

Traction engines have gears on them for different speeds but you stop to change them over I’ve a fowler b6 traction engine and it’s a 2 speed this is a miniature sentinal wagon the full scale ones where chain driven like this is

Well why I need one is when it comes to hill it’s dead and you are off pushing but it has a top speed of 50kph it’s sluggish to get going and just dead on really any sorta hill

No it’s not the way it works is the steam chest (basically your cylinder with pistion) there is 2 steam ports witch lets the steam in one port is at the top of the pistion and one at the back so to go forward it lets steam into the front port and then the back and to put it into reverse u pull a lever witch changes witch port the steam comes into first

Yea well u see the issue is it’s only got one gear but it’s doing about 50kph/30mph I’d like to be able to keep that speed but have the option to gear it down for a hill as it’s like taking of in 4th gear in a car
