I wouldn't say it was for definite, but that engine you bought for £5 looks like a Hot Air Engine. I'm only saying that because the cylinder has 'ribs' like other Hot Air Engines I have seen

Its either a flame gulper engine or a small gas engine made by the L.E.E.K company as a set of castings

It must have been a rare item. There where some nice steam items on the market last thursday A Bing vertical, two fleischmann's and a TE unboxed And two sets of Malkin tools on two display boards One set consisted of a generator and three tools The other was a generator and two tools The dealer wanted £100 for the two sets And wouldnt budge on price
