Traction Engine Lamps in 2", 3" and 4" Scales
Front Lamps Fully Working
These are beautifully crafted and we are very proud of them!
All the lamps are fully sprung and produced in brass by the "lost wax" casting method each item containing rivet detail. All holes are cast so there is no machining required, just removal of the casting sprues and any small "lumps and bumps" which are part of the casting process.
The 2" and 3" lamps have lenses which are moulded in clear acrylic and hardly need touching, and are designed for assembly with soft solder, epoxy adhesive or loctite.
The 4" are heavy castings and designed to be riveted or silver soldered and screwed together. They incorporate genuine optical lenses which magnify the flame of a "night light" candle and give a very realistic light.

Rear Lamps
These are lost wax castings and need only a light clean up and painting. The 2" scale are non-working.
The 4" scale lamp is based on our 4" scale front lamp. This has a single round red lens and the fully sprung hinge at the back. It is also suitable, with a clear lens, as a front lamp for 7 1/4" or 10 1/4" narrow gauge locos such as the Bagnall and Romulus.

Dynamo and Exiter Castings in 2" scale
We have received many requests over the years for dynamo castings for Showman's Engines and we have made patterns for these in 2" scale and they are cast in Aluminimum. They represent the Mather and Platt P8C Dynamo and P3C Exciter as fitted to Burrell Scenic Showman's Engines. We also have the correct cover plates showing the cable connections and these are etched in brass.
