Looking for help to ID make and model of this 0 gauge spirit fired engine made from a kit by my father around 1960. Want to get it working again safely and need info to find correct pressure valve setting. Photo attached, engine length is 210mm.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Terri, hi, There is a section on the Hornby Forum, specifically for Steam, and a guy named ken, who posts as Gowest. If no one on here can help, he is an acknowledged expert, and it may be worth your while joining and posting on that section. He will read your cry for help, and i am sure be able to help. If all else fails, must be worth a try.. May well be, of course there is a similar expert on here. time will tell.
