It looks like Anthony Mount’s Cross or Rectilinear Engine. The build was in Engineering in Miniature Vol 30 issues 9, 10, 11, and 12 March thru June 2009. Castings available from Polly Engineering I believe. Check their web site under historic stationary engines.

If it’s odd Anthony Mount is always a good place to start. He did do interesting engines.

Although Antony did a Crosss engine that one in the photo looks to be a more basic scratch built version that uses the same motion.

I agree with Jason. The cylinder and the columns are much plainer than Anthony’s. His columns were fluted and the cylinder had some reinforcing bands moulded around it. It might be scratch built based on Anthony’s build series which actually ran from March to October 2009. Johannes I have sent you a PM.
