Twin  Salter safety valves, feed by injector and crankshaft-driven pump with bypass.  Single cylinder with slide valve actuated by Stephenson's valve gear, pole  reverser on footplate. Mechanical lubricator driven from valve rod. Two speed  transmission, winch behind nearside rear wheel with tender-mounted fairleads.  Wheels are rubber tyred.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe engine was completed in 1996 and has been carefully used. It  goes very well - pump and injector are both reliable, the boiler makes  plenty of steam and it's particularly easy to drive. It's got a new boiler  certificate and is ready to take out and rally straight away.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eIf you look through the archive you'll see that whilst I get my  fair share of 1 1\/2, 3 and 4 inch engines, those in 2 inch scale are  rather scarce. I've never quite understood why they're not more widely modelled  as it makes a very handy sized engine - considerably more robust and capable  than a 1 1\/2 inch Allchin, yet nothing like so heavy to load and move about as a  3 inch Burrell.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eLength 39 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Height 24 inches    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54020051075413,"sku":"2688","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/2688-1.webp?v=1779910127","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/2-inch-scale-minnie-traction-engine-stock-code-2688","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
