They were advertised in the \"Model Engineer\" in the  1980s and were bought by a man who kept a large collection of steam engines of  all sizes in his house and outbuildings – neither were steamed during this  time, one being kept in the cellar (which gave us an interesting job when time  came to get it out) with the 4-4-0 ending up in the Midlands for what became a  protracted (and as yet unfinished) overhaul. During this time the chassis was  stripped and rebuilt, whilst the boiler was overhauled commercially.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp dir=\"LTR\"\u003eSteel superheated boiler with expanded steel tubes, feed by axle  pump with auxiliary hand pump in the tender. Cast iron cylinders with slide  valves actuated by Stephenson's gear with screw reverser in cab. Mechanical  lubricator, steam brakes.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp dir=\"LTR\"\u003eThe engine is largely complete, the only bits known to be missing  are the safety valves. It has been well-built and is nicely-proportioned – a  good representation of the prototype engine.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp dir=\"LTR\"\u003eWe would be happy either to sell the engine in its current  condition or quote to complete the restoration.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp dir=\"LTR\"\u003eLength\u003cbr\u003e  Locomotive 72 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Tender 48 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Driving wheels 14 inch diameter\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp dir=\"LTR\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019804922197,"sku":"3770","price":23500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/3770-1.webp?v=1779907445","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/10-14-inch-gauge-midland-compound-stock-code-3770","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
