Fed by axle pump and auxiliary hand pump in tender. Twin safety valves.  Two cylinders with piston valves actuated by Walschaerts valve gear. A large  displacement lubricator is mounted behind the buffer beam with individual  metering valves for each cylinder.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eA well-made model, the engine shows only modest wear to motion  and axleboxes - it has a piece of ballasted display track on which I assume it  has spent most of its life. It has been repainted at some stage, covering the  \"6100\" painted numerals on the cabside. The tender is sign-written -  this was the age before mail-order transfers were available at the end of a  telephone!\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eIn deference to the age of the model, I have not steamed it - at  nearly seventy years old it is really more of a display piece than a serious  passenger-hauler. The main structure of the boiler is sound, but the soft-solder  calked construction is really of a different era to our modern all  silver-soldered boilers and is not recommended for modern day running.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eLength\u003cbr\u003e  Locomotive 30 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":54010125058389,"sku":"2165","price":2091.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/2165-1_571fb4aa-a4be-4080-b5eb-5551ad897cfd.webp?v=1779900533","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/3-12-inch-gauge-royal-scot-stock-code-2165","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
