It has recently been finished and  steamed once before coming in as a part exchange against something rather  larger.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eI won't write out all the guff again about the bits that were described  before, you can read them in the archive, but in summary it's got a  professionally-built copper boiler and the first builder is responsible for  rolling chassis, gearing, cylinder block and tender. He set a blazing standard  to follow (hardly surprising, given that he does this for a living), the man who  completed the job is not a professional but has made a decent stab at it. The  engine turns over nicely, everything lines up and it runs well. There are some  minor jobs to do - the belly tanks are not plumbed at the moment, nor is the  mechanical pump functional - the engine relies on injector and hand pump - and  the blast pipe requires adjustment to centre it in the chimney.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eLength 39 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Height 24 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Weight approx 130 pounds\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019155919189,"sku":"3008","price":3650.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/3008-1.webp?v=1779902340","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/2-inch-scale-minnie-traction-engine-stock-code-3008","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
