LADY STEPHANIE PUMPING BEAM ENGINE
Tubal Cain was one of the great designers of model steam engines, and one of his most popular was Lady Stephanie, a six column pumping beam engine for estate use. The design was first published in Engineering in Miniature in the early 1980s. Drawings and castings are available, and it has also been built using fabrications rather than castings. This example was built by John Mellor and shown at the 2017 Midlands Model Engineering exhibition.
