Twin cylinders, slide valves actuated by inside Stephenson's  valve gear with pole reverser. Cab-operated drain cocks, mechanical lubricator  behind front buffer beam.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePainted in green, lined in black and white. Original sign-written cabside  numbers and tender lettering. Tender frames in Indian Red, lined in crimson.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eI have a high regard for this design - I've never had a Maisie that didn't  steam well or failed to set a good pace on the club track. To my mind a light 3  ½ inch gauge express engine has much to recommend it over a 5 inch gauge tank  engine - they are lighter to handle, challenging to drive well and easily  capable of keeping up with 5 inch traffic with their relatively large wheels  (and I speak as a Maisie owner myself!)\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eLength\u003cbr\u003e  Locomotive 27 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Tender 17 inches\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54009705398613,"sku":"2168","price":2600.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/2168-1_b75c8aea-be79-46f4-95d8-a1b2213f07f8.webp?v=1779898912","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/3-12-inch-gauge-maisie-stock-code-2168","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
