Notes: This was the first complete steam plant that Model Engineering produced. The boiler is a simple affair. It is made from a rolled sheet of brass with just a safety valve and a hole for the steam pipe and sometimes a filler plug. It is held into the firebox by a screw soldered into one of the boilers endcaps. You will notice it uses the same flywheel and safety valve as the vertical model. It was made between 1945 and 1956. There are a few of variations to this model.
