Three cylinders with slide valves, outside  actuated by Walschaert's valve gear with pole reverser in cab, inner valve by  Gresley-Holcroft gear. Mechanical lubricator.  \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eA nicely made engine, fitting three cylinders into a 2 1\/2 inch  gauge model was an ambitious proposition which paid off handsomely - apart from  looking right, the Gresley-Holcroft gear is technically interesting and the  engine runs with the highly characteristic \"six beats to the bar\" you  get with these models in any gauge. Fit of the working parts is particularly  good, it runs very quietly.  \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eIn the past the boiler appears to have been spirit fired,  although there is currently no burner of any type fitted - I ran it on a small  propane torch in the workshop - \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/uk.youtube.com\/watch?v=IT37WW73T7U\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ethere's  a clip of it running here\u003c\/a\u003e.  \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eComplete with a well-made carrying crate - I can't imagine it  would spend much of it's time in the box, we currently keep it on the hall table  where it looks very handsome.  \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eLength\u003cbr\u003e  Locomotive 24 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Tender 13 inches  \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54020064641365,"sku":"3569","price":2250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/3569-1.webp?v=1779910342","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/2-12-inch-gauge-flying-scotsman-stock-code-3569","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
