{"product_id":"2-inch-scale-mj-fowler-traction-engine-stock-code-1825","title":"2 inch scale MJ Fowler traction engine","description":"A 2 inch scale model of a Fowler two speed traction engine, to the MJ design  and using their castings. Built in 1990 with a copper boiler by Cheddar Models,  the engine has been rallied ever since by its builder. The complete outfit  includes a ride-on living van and water bowser which supplies cold water for the  injector. Currently fitted with \"practical\" plastic wheels, the living  van comes complete with its original steel spoked wheels, matching the bowser.    \u003cp\u003eBoiler feed is by mechanical pump with bypass valve and injector. There is a  water lifter for filling the tender using the hose stowed on the running board.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eThe engine runs very well, giving me a very comfortable ride down the garden  last night. Provided you have patience (and, ideally, broadband access to the  internet for the 2Mb download) you can see \u003ca href=\"MVI_0714.AVI\"\u003ethe video of it running here\u003c\/a\u003e.  Don't say we don't strive for the cutting edge of technology on this website!\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eThe engine is in good mechanical condition, is nicely-detailed and runs very  well. Paintwork is a little tired, mainly on the barrel and smokebox where it  could easily be touched up. The water bowser needs some minor repair work. At 2  inch scale, this is a nice-sized outfit, easily managed with one person yet  capable of pulling its driver and a passenger on the living van.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eLength (engine) 36 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Weight approx 100 pounds\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54009520652629,"sku":"1825","price":2800.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/1825-1.webp?v=1779898050","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/2-inch-scale-mj-fowler-traction-engine-stock-code-1825","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
