In the introductory paragraph of their constructional notes for this engine, they begin:\u003c\/div\u003e  \u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e  \u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\"In presenting this new design of locomotive for amateur construction we are confident that a long felt want is being supplied. This robust design 6-coupled Tank Locomotive has been prepared with a view to offering a model that is sufficiently powerful to haul a load of 16 adult passengers, and, at the same time all the components are of such a nature, that they may be machined and finished by those who have only a slight knowledge of engineering work and who have had no previous experience in the building of steam locomotives.\"\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis is a well-made old model which runs very nicely and is, as the designers assert, surprisingly powerful for a 3 1\/2 inch gauge engine (although, it must be said, we haven't tried 16 adult passengers!). Silver-soldered copper boiler with superheater fed by axle pump and injector, with auxiliary hand pump in one side tank.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCylinders are 1 1\/8 x 1 5\/8, slide valve actuated by Walshaerts gear, mechanical lubricator driven from the motion.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe engine comes with a complete set of drawings and original Bassett-Lowke booklet on the design.\u003c\/p\u003e Length 29 inches   \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"center\"\u003e   \u003c!--   webbot bot=\"Navigation\" S-Type=\"children\" S-Orientation=\"horizontal\" S-Rendering=\"graphics\" B-Include-Home=\"TRUE\" B-Include-Up=\"TRUE\" U-Page S-Target startspan   --\u003e      \u003c!--   webbot bot=\"Navigation\" endspan i-checksum=\"0\"   --\u003e   \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54020215079253,"sku":"1735","price":1195.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/1735-1.webp?v=1779911870","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/3-12-inch-gauge-0-6-0-bassett-lowke-design-stock-code-1735","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
