{"product_id":"1-12-inch-scale-marshall-portable-engine-stock-code-8433","title":"1 1\/2 inch scale Marshall portable engine","description":"A finely made 1 1\/2 inch scale Marshall portable engine, to W.J.Hughes' highly detailed design published in \"Model Engineer\" magazine. It's one of those engines where the longer you look the more you see - we particularly liked the minute padlock on the front safety valve and finely proportioned, taper-pinned levers in the regulator linkage.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Machining is crisp throughout, fit and finish of the motionwork excellent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    It's rare we see model portable engines - I've always liked the idea that the basic design survived for eighty years virtually unchanged, Robeys here in Lincoln still turning out new ones for export as late as 1950.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Although the engine has evidence of steaming in the past, in deference to its paintwork it's had a twice working pressure hydraulic test in the workshop and been run on air, but we haven't put a fire in it. Some fittings and a cylinder bolt leak - not unusual in an engine unused for a long time - in all other respects it appears in as-new condition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019717955925,"sku":"8433","price":4750.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/8433-1.webp?v=1779906483","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/1-12-inch-scale-marshall-portable-engine-stock-code-8433","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
