Default Burrell 2864 1906 scc traction engine project

Thinking of selling my burrell scc traction engine. It is an ongoing project. 5nhp devonshire engine shipped to Australia where it spent its working life, it has a larger firebox and smokebox than a 'standard' devonshire and wider rear wheels. I shipped it home to Ireland in 2015.

cylinder block in good condition
there is a new boiler barrel, tubeplate and firebox (all professionally made with certs). New rear tender.
the top wrapper, throatplate, back plate and hornplates all had some build up welding, by professional, coded welder (esp around the foundation ring) and have all been inspected and passed by my boiler inspector.
front wheels, front axle, front perch
rear wheels
fly wheel
axle boxes
crankshaft
gears all present tho will most likely need refurb/replacing
plus 2 pallets of bits including reversing lever, connecting rod, new chimney saddle casting and firedoors, new mudhole door castings all round, govenor, stephensons link + some motion work, etc
steering wheel and worm
at this stage its mainly a case of putting her back together - a decent project for someone with the knowledge and time. It will make a nice genuine burrell compound traction engine for very little extra cost, quite a powerful little engine that will provide years of happiness on the rally field or on a road run.
please call or whatsapp for pics and price. 0879409565 (00353879409565 in UK)
im not in a hurry to sell so please serious enquiries only. may p/e for 6inch burrell road loco
