{"product_id":"3-12-inch-gauge-part-built-hielan-lassie-stock-code-2119","title":"3 1\/2 inch gauge part-built  \"Hielan Lassie\"","description":"\u003cp\u003ePart-built 3 1\/2 inch gauge Pacific to LBSC's \" \"Hielan Lassie\"  design, based on Thompson's rebuild of Gresley's first Pacific \"Great  Northern\" on his  assession to CME of the LNER.  As ever, LBSC gave all sorts of options to builders with Walschaerts or Baker  valve gear actuating slide or piston valves. This one is Baker gear driving  piston valves, with conjugated gear for the inside cylinder (which is how  Gresley originally designed it, Thompson added a third set of  Walschaerts inside the frames on the rebuilds, just to keep things simple!).    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chassis was built many years ago and has been liberally oiled, to which  has stuck a generous helping of muck! Underneath the metal is bright,  workmanship is good and the engine turns over freely with all the right noises  from the (twin) blast pipes. A mechanical lubricator is fitted underneath the  smokebox at the front, driven from an eccentric on the front driving axle. A  water pump is driven from the back axle. A grate for the wide-firebox boiler is  installed over the rear pony truck.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe smokebox in brass is fitted complete with twin blast pipes, door, locking  bar, dart and handles. There is a formed up and brazed shell for a copper boiler  which is fit only for the skip. The cab is largely complete.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe eight-wheel tender comprises most of a chassis which rolls along,  together with a pretty grim-looking tank containing a hand pump. I suspect the  chassis is usable, the tank would probably make a nice planter.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a complete set of drawings, all the original LBSC \"Model  Engineer\" articles from 1946 giving words and music, together with some  notes.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLength\u003cbr\u003e  Locomotive 36 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Tender 20 inches    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019945038165,"sku":"2119","price":795.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/2119-1.webp?v=1779908782","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/3-12-inch-gauge-part-built-hielan-lassie-stock-code-2119","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
