The main running  gear is entirely conventional (and well made), the boiler comprises a coal-fired  grate underneath what is effectively a monotube boiler. I've had a good look at  it and, to be honest, can't see the novel leap which made it patentable over any  other flash-type steam raiser, but somebody better informed than I will, no  doubt, let us know.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eWith a replacement boiler it could easily be converted into a  throughly decent (though same as all the others) Maisie. It would be nice to  think that somebody as individual-minded as the original builder could take it  on \"as is\" and develop it to a running engine. And if so, I'd like a  go when it's finished please.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54020065296725,"sku":"3840","price":750.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/3840-1.webp?v=1779910346","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/3-12-inch-gauge-maisie-with-patent-boiler-stock-code-3840","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
