The original engine with the serial number 3251 was built by the
company William Allchin Ltd. in Northampton and was presented at the
Royal exhibition in Chester in 1925. Due to this show the model gained its name
" Royal Chester ".

It was W.J.Hughes who drew the plans for the model, in the end of the 40s, according to the original machine of which he took all accessible measures in a laborious effort. In 1957 plans of the construction of a model engine were published in a series of articles in the publication " MODEL ENGINEER". Due to this very detailed information the Allchin has been built as a model in larger numbers in England. Those who have access to the necessary technical equipment might be seduced by W.J.Hughes' book 'Building the Allchin' and those who persevere the up to four years long construction process will be rewarded by a wonderful model.
