ULTRA RARE!!! 1979 MECCANO STEAM ENGINE IN ORIGINAL BOX!!!! WOW!!!

ULTRA RARE!!! 1979 MECCANO STEAM ENGINE IN ORIGINAL BOX. AS CAN BE SEEN ON THE INFO ONLY 9 067 WAS MADE BETWEEN 1979 AND 1984. THIS ENGINE WAS BOUGHT ON THE 11-09-1979. IT'S RUNNING LIKE A DREAM. ONE PIPE GET SOME MOIST, AND WAS REPAIRED. IT COMES WITH A BOOKLET AND SOME ACCESSORIES. I'VE ALSO LISTED A MAMOD WORKSHOP WS1, SO PLEASE HAVE A LOOK. (SEE PICTURE)

This particular version of the engine was introduced in 1979 and now boasted a whistle and a grey painted base. Meths burners were now considered too unsafe so the engine came with a solid fuel burner. It also initially came with a Meccano plastic 19 tooth gear, instead of the previous 15 tooth one, and a yellow 3/4" sprocket wheel. However, when these items ran out after the closure of Binns Rd they were replaced with pulleys made by Mamod. The engine was withdrawn in 1984 after 9,067 had been produced. This is one in a sequence of pictures showing three of these engines.
