The motion is silky smooth to turn over, the engine has been tested on air, running as well as it looks; slight leakage past the regulator was noted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The engine steams freely and runs well, however the scale safety valves - whilst coping with normal running conditions - accumulate when the fire is forced with the blower. Either the valves or blower will require work to rectify.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The injector is a dummy, piped through to an effective hand pump in the belly tank - the engine also has a mechanical pump.    We love the detail on this one - including the hand made steering chains (with a few spare links in the spares box), double nutted bearing caps and eccentric strap wick oilers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Complete with a stand for the canopy when not in use and a purpose built storage crate - both as nicely made as the engine itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    \u003ciframe width=\"393\" height=\"190\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BzzTDsTGfQI?si=hoKfoa5i93HD1fss\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54009796886869,"sku":"12162","price":6750.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/12162-01.webp?v=1779899256","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/2-inch-scale-ransomes-2c-sims-jefferies-agricultural-engine-stock-code-12162","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
