Stuart Triple Expansion Steam Engine

Hi Colin, and that is one incredible bargain you bought there at £45.00, there definitely seems to be a lot more bargains in your neck of the woods compared with up here in the North East. Good Hunting, Regards, Gary.

Hi Trev, if you haven't managed to find it yet you are looking for Graham Industries, (Gage,) and cheaper for you to buy as right on your doorstep in the US of A. Good hunting. Regards, Gary.

Gary, I agree with you on all counts, apparently the T2R was introduced in 1969 until about 1977 details are a bit vague, hopefully if Saito get back to me I will be able to know more. It was introduced to fill the reversible engine market …
