It was a little warm to go down there......
The view from above was risking it, as the exhaust caught me a second after releasing the shutter. Good job it wasn't actually 'working'. It was being dragged backwards.

I had a look between the frames of an austerity recently but it looked a bit odd and I couldn't work out why..

No pickups, no motor, no gears? Mind you it could be split frame :D

I was going to say it must be straight out of the box from the first few photo's.... If it is missing all the running bits take it back to the shop!!! :D

Look for a seperate plastic bag with the slide bars, cross heads, and drive for piston valves etc.
If missing return to buyer as incomplete.
