Live Steam 
Reeves Perseus "Mill" Single Model Steam Engine 
Fully Machine Kit 

This is an attractive larger single cylinder "mill" engine kit made by Reeves, Birmingham, England. Designed by Edgar T Westbury and described in Model Engineer Vol 115-116.

The engine has an eccentric driven slide valve, cast aluminium base, steel side supports, connecting rod and flywheel, brass cylinder, eccentric rod, slider tube and chest.

The engine kit is fully machined and can be completed with simple hand tools. The flywheel, base and cylinder have been painted blue and the supports in black. Included are the original instruction sheet and packaging box (the box is damaged).

The engine kit has been checked over by ourselves and is complete and in good clean condition with little evidence of use, see photo of the parts.

The Perseus engine kit, as a set of castings, can still be purchased from Reeves as can spares.
