One can only speculate what Ivatt would have  made of this one.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCopper combustion chamber boiler with flue-tube superheaters. Feed by axle  pump, the engine would have had an injector which has long since disappeared  (although there's a steam takeoff on the backhead for same). The boiler has been  taken off at some point and loosely reassembled at a jaunty angle - it's  currently a quarter inch too far forward, which kicks the back up and means the  cab doesn't sit down straight.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chassis looks to have been quite well made, albeit about two hundred  years ago. It runs along quite freely.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe engine apparently never had a tender - the original builder used to run a  driving truck straight behind it. The tender shown in the second picture is a  new Maisie tender I have in stock, this is available separately if required.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe engine actually managed a run right to the end of the garden and back  last night (after replacing the perished old water gauge packing). There are  opportunities for optimisation, as they say...    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019679027541,"sku":"2293","price":595.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/2293-1.webp?v=1779906169","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/3-12-inch-maisie-for-rebuild-stock-code-2293","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
