Having said that, it's got a decent  silver-soldered copper boiler with superheaters, has been recently stripped and  repainted and goes very well. I often get engines which have been driven solely  on the axle pump (with the non-working injector usually dumped in the  tender). Unusually, this engine has a decent injector but the axle pump was  never refitted after the repaint. All the bits are with it and it could be  reassembled easily, but the previous owner was happy to drive it on injector and  handpump. Cylinders are in gunmetal, slide valves actuated by Walschaert's valve  gear and mechanical lubricator under the smokebox door.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eAn easy-to-handle engine which is nice to drive and has a fair  turn of speed - pretty much ideal for a beginner (particularly as it doesn't  take a huge amount of effort to get it in and out of the car). It comes with a  complete set of the \"English Mechanics\" articles from 1954 serialising  the construction.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eLength\u003cbr\u003e  Locomotive 28 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Tender 16 inches\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54010269532501,"sku":"2202","price":1950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/2202-1_246a5880-e5a4-475c-8840-6e44b8ec307b.webp?v=1779901026","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/3-12-inch-gauge-bantam-cock-stock-code-2202","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
