Hello does anyone have a copy of the original sales literature for the 1/6 th scale Joseph Reid 1902 Oilfield pumping engine please.
This information was originally online but I cannot locate the details. The original company has ceased trading in USA.

Are any drawings available

I thought they did the kit in 1/4 and 1/8th scale not 1/6th?

Antique Engines has contact details but they may be out of date

Smokstak forum would also be worth asking on as most of the US builders use that, post in the scale models section

Yes as Bill says they are more common in the US, there are builds on the two forums Bill mentioned and also Smokstak such as this one on MEM

What is the flywheel dia, I did see mention of a 14" flywheel on the 1/4 scale version
