Each model is a concept representation of the "The Bob",  taken from an old line drawing illustration and an archive photo of the beam being removed from its Engine House in 1897.  The original photograph shows the removal of a very large cast-iron beam or bob which was 10m (33ft 3in) in length and weighed over 52 tons; from this image, we created a concept model, that represents a smaller 6 meter (20ft) beam (80mm)- similar to the ones found in engine houses around Minions on Bodmin Moor.

Cornish Beam Engines were a specialist a type of steam engine developed in Cornwall. The county was rich in tin, copper and other metal ore mines, but, as the mines reached greater depths, a means of draining water from the mine had to be found for pumping water from a mine. The beam engines that were developed used steam at a higher pressure than the earlier engines designed by James Watt. The engines were also used for powering man engines to assist the underground miners' journeys to and from their working levels, for winching materials into and out of the mine, and for powering on-site ore stamping machinery.

The models are produced in house on a 3d SLA printer using UV photo polymer resins, creating a detailed model with a smooth surface, ready for final sprue removal,  light sanding, priming and then painting.
