Included in a range of seven toy steam engines that were manufactured before the Second World War was a model that appeared briefly during the latter part of 1939 and had disappeared by the time the factory had stopped production sometime in 1940.
The engine in question was a twin horizontally opposed cylinder overtype model. This particular engine had a production run thought to be less than 100, but in reality was probably limited to just a few dozen units. Of these just a handful are known to have survived.
To give you some idea of how rare these engines have become: the grandson of the original manufacturer had not seen one of these engines until the mid 1990's, over fifty years since they were produced.

MF STEAM are proud to offer for sale the MFTWIN replica engine that has been inspired by a range of toy steam engines made in England both before and after the Second World War.
The MFtwin evokes memories of one of the rarest and most sought after models.



The MFtwin limited edition replica features:-

Hand made in England by skilled craftsmen using only the best quality
engineering materials.
Production run of only 100.
The boiler is made from heavy gauge solid drawn brass tube with lipped end
caps for extra strength, and fitted with a brass spring-loaded safety valve.
The engine frame is a brass pressing with the cylinders being machined from solid brass.
The base plate measures 4" X 2½" and has been drilled to suit metal construction sets.
Overall height of 4½".
Finished in quality stove enamel paint.
The base plate is signal red. The boiler mount and burner are gloss black.

Each MFtwin is engraved on the engine mount with its' edition number to show that it is a genuine MFsteam Product.
