Drawings for this kit are produced from the original archives. Although the prototype cover is contained within the Micromodel archives, there are no records held in the same archives detailing whether runs were ever issued with this cover. MicromodelsUSA and Micromodels London have both printed this model. Micromodels London also published it as part of their calendar 2017. In 2026 Micromodels London also issued an enlarged model. It is 2.3 times the size of the original model on high quality paper. This Beam Engine was built by Harvey & Co. of Hayle, Cornwall and has been operating in a Scottish Colliery
