Description: LIVING ESTATE SALE (Details at the end of description) MS/AI For your consideration is a Stuart S50 Live Steam Engine manufactured in England in the 1970s. From the Stuart Site :"The Stuart S50 is an elegant model ‘Mill Engine’ of the type used to power small factories in the north of England during the mid-nineteenth century." This particular model has been manufactured since 1917 and is still produced nowadays. You can actually order it from Stuart. They are still operating : https://www.stuartmodels.com/product/stuart-s50-ready-to-run/ At the "Ready to Run" price of £894, at the current rate, this equals to around $1,170 The machined kit version is £623 ($816) but you have to assemble it and paint it. The engine has been air tested (video) and should not give much trouble to operate on steam. Please select the shipping system that suits you best. Condition : This vintage Live Steam Engine is in excellent condition. It has been air tested (video) and should not give much trouble to operate on steam. Hardly any corrosion at all. I would rate it a solid C7. VERY IMPORTANT : I am offering four shipping options. You can check the cost by clicking next to shipping on "See Details" or make your choice at take-out. The default is usually UPS Ground as Expedited Shipping can be expensive and is not necessarily more reliable. Please keep in mind that I do not control the cost of shipping that is calculated by eBay. Free pick-up is always available (Rock Hill, SC). LESS IMPORTANT : Items are packed and ready for shipping when I make the listing. Combined shipping cannot be done if one item is larger than 8 x 8 x 8 packed. If it is possible, smaller items can be combined upon request prior to the payment. Guarantee : Item is guaranteed to be as described. I am a very honest seller hoping to deal with honest buyers. If I know something is wrong, I will disclose it but I certainly can make an honest mistake and will do my very best to correct it. Warning : Many of these older collectibles are not in compliance with today's safety standards. It is the responsibility of the buyer to determine whether or not they are still suitable for their intended purpose. Adult supervision is indispensable with any steam engine. Packaging :Items are packed carefully and should remain undamaged through a standard level of care during handling. LIVING ESTATE SALE DETAILS :I had my first steam engine when I was 9 years old. That was 65 years ago. I have been collecting them for 25 years and I am now 74. None of my descendants is interested in the collection, so I decided that it was time to liquidate. As of November 2024, I still have over 1,300 engines of all kinds to list. I believe in full disclosure. It takes me about an hour to list one item, between the assessment, the testing, the video, the photos, the description and the very careful packaging. I try to have very reasonable prices. At comparable quality, my prices are probably the lowest on the market.
