The smokebox saddle is missing and the tender hand pump handle  has fractured in the middle. There is some pipework with the engine and an  injector which requires refitting. Other than that, the engine seems to be  complete - it requires cleaning and reassembling.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e36 inches overall length including tender\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e22 March - Update\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn response to many requests for information about the general condition of  this engine and the boiler in particular, we spent half a day on this engine in  the workshop yesterday.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe boiler was hydraulic tested, initially to 180 psi (twice working  pressure) before holding 135 psi (150% WP) for 15 minutes. There is no sign of  leakage from tubes or stays. For the test the main steam pipe to the cylinders  and side feed clacks were blanked off.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e The regulator, blower  and gauge blowdown valves were freed off before reassembling the boiler onto the  chassis. We fired it this morning, kindling on wood before moving onto steam  coal. It raised steam from cold in about 15 minutes, the safety valve releasing  at 90 psi and holding the pressure to that with the blower on.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe engine runs very well in both directions. With the reversing lever in  next-to-middle notch the exhaust is virtually inaudible.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWork required includes making a new smokebox saddle - either from a casting  or fabricated. Piping up the axle pump and tender pump. Replacing various small  nuts and screws. Refitting cab and running boards. New blastpipe nozzle.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTo be honest, it's such a nice little engine there's a strong temptation to  finish it off over the weekend and use it for a while!\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp 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":54009512001877,"sku":"1626","price":1395.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/1626-1.webp?v=1779898017","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/3-12-inch-gauge-lner-atlantic-maisie-stock-code-1626","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
