Very neat looking engines, with a very interesting burner set-up. Have you got any history of the makers Scorp?

Most unusual layouts the longitudinal one is similar in layout to the Cyldon 13/2 and 13/4.

Brimo = Brian Moss made them in the 1960s and 1970s in Auckland New Zealand then in Dunedin in the South island
they were marketed as Brimo and also as Chas Stevenson who retailed them in Auckland apart from that not a lot is known .
on the other forum (hold hand out for smack) there was thread supposedly started by Brian's daughter with history but her information is incorrect as i have paper work to prove such and she would not respond to my trying to contact her

the square one runs on meths and the long one uses tablets ie esbit or similar
another useless bit of information
the boiler on my square 1 had something rattling in side and I tried to remove end with no success only to discover that when i polished it up later the boiler is Brazed not soldered ???

The long one is my favourite, both are quality though, is the flywheel brass

Yes both flywheels are brass
I have had 2 more of the long ones which I have passed on and just passed another of the square one's on last week
they come up quite regularly on TradeMe so if any of you want them let me know and i can purchase and send on .TradeMe is only available to New Zealanders and Aussie's
and I do have Paypal
if you have any worries about my integrity just check out "Scorpion2"
