One such was the Durham and North Yorkshire  Steam Cultivation Company Ltd of the North Bridge Engine Works, Ripon who  produced a grand total of five engines between 1873 and 1883 in-between other  jobs!  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir second engine, produced in 1875, owed much to the contemporary Fowler  agricultural engines in general layout and proportion with a three-shaft,  two-speed transmission with winch drum behind the nearside rear wheel. The  company developed their own distinctive separate hornplates, rather than the  otherwise universally adopted firebox wrapper extensions pioneered by Thomas  Aveling, claiming that this arrangement isolated the boiler from the vibration  and shock loadings from the wheels.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe company went bankrupt in 1885 - the last engine built was claimed by  their creditors as it underwent steam trials. None of the engines has survived  and not until John Haining produced his typically well-researched design for a 2  inch scale model in 1978 was one of the engines seen (albeit in miniature)  again.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis engine is new, having been completed earlier this year and steamed once.  It has a professionally-built steel boiler with expanded tubes, working pressure  80 psi. Twin dummy Salter safety valves are fitted with conventional valves  beneath. Boiler feed is by injector and crankshaft-driven pump, mounted low on  the nearside hornplate. Single cylinder with slide valve actuated by  Stephenson's reversing gear. Drain cocks operated from footplate, mechanical  lubricator for the cylinder. Three shaft transmission, all professionally-cut  gears, high and low gear selection lever. Winch drum mounted behind nearside  rear wheel.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaintwork is in unlined dark green, a functional rather than show-winning  livery.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eLength 30 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Flywheel 8 inch diameter\u003cbr\u003e  Rear wheels 11 inch diameter\u003cbr\u003e  Front wheels 7 inch diameter\u003cbr\u003e  Weight approx 120 pounds\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019670049109,"sku":"2965","price":3950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/2965-1.webp?v=1779906067","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/2-inch-scale-dny-traction-engine-stock-code-2965","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
