It's come to us as part of a small collection of locomotives including a Claud Hamilton and fine 5 inch gauge Black 5, kept for display in the owner's house.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The boiler has had recent hydraulic test with new certification issued; the chassis - fitted with prototypically authentic Joy valve gear - runs well on air in either direction with slight leakage past the valves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    We like this one a lot - a most attractive model, the only thing we'd change are the nameplates - whilst textually accurate they're aesthetically disastrous. Nowadays replica plates are readily available and, given the fabulous style of LNWR nameplates, it would be well worth acquiring and fitting a pair.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54009737576789,"sku":"11146","price":3450.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/11146-1.webp?v=1779899073","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/3-12-inch-gauge-prince-of-wales-stock-code-11146","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
