The "Model Engineer". February 9th, 1905, in referring to the recent exhibition at Holborn Town Hall, says: "Stuart Turner's show of High Speed Engines and Engine Castings was much appreciated, all sizes of his famous engines being represented, from the small T.B.D. engine to the 6 h.p. Compound Launch Engine. On his stand was a very fine model of G.N.R. 251, which he has lately completed to the order of a customer."
