Hoping someone out there may be able to identify this engine. Found in my partner's grandfather's shed. No makers marks etc on it. Stands about 2ft tall. Steel construction with a brass hot cap. open pipe at top of water jacket and bung in bottom water jacket pipe. Spent the weekend cleaning it up and it all seems to be there. Will try firing it up tonight.
Any help much appreciated. [/URL]
Tyco, I think it may be a Bradley Little Wonder pumping plant, they were made in Christchurch, many years ago their address was 782 Colombo St, now long gone. Ian S C
Where he states:-
Most Heinricis in New Zealand were imported by a firm of Christchurch glaziers (Bradley Bro's Ltd) in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They re-badged them to the Bradley name.
His website is always a great read.
(even for those of us who live across the ditch!)

Ah yes I stumbled across Peter Lynn's page. Have also now found reference to Bradley Bros Little Wonder pumping station in the 1906 International Exhibition manifest:
