Another fine engine by Mick Keenan, exhibited at the Midlands Model Engineering Exhibition in 2024. It is a model of the Wasp Mill engine, Elsie, which now resides at the great Bolton Steam Museum. It was built by J & W McNaught Ltd of Rochdale in 1902 for the Barchant Spinning Company  with both the high and low-pressure cylinders on a common piston rod driving a single crank.
