{"product_id":"3-14-inch-scale-aveling-tractor-stock-code-2239","title":"3 1\/4 inch scale Aveling tractor","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eI have a high regard for Maxitrak, they have a long history of  producing kit-built locomotives and traction engines that actually seem to do  what it says on the box. I get relatively few of their locomotives in - most  owners seem to hang onto them, which speaks volumes - but those I do get always  seem to steam well and run nicely.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eIn addition to their locomotives, Maxitrak produce a range of  small, one inch scale traction engines - I've had several of these little  Burrells - and also a much larger, 3 inch scale Aveling \u0026amp; Porter  tractor. Designed as a hand-tools only assembly job, these well-engineered kits come complete with  pretty much everything to complete, including clear and comprehensive  instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eI don't know the best method to tackle putting one of these kits  together, but the one here shows how not to do it! Bought as a complete kit in  one go, it has had a few of the major parts assembled before the whole thing was  left in a shed for a few years. As a result of this, most of the mild steel  components now have an unsightly, if easily removed, dusting of surface rust.  However, everything appears to be in the boxes, right down to a set of firing  irons. The silver-soldered copper boiler is by Cheddar Models and comes with its  original hydraulic test certificate. All pipework is pre-formed and soldered,  all platework is complete ready to bolt on, all fittings, gauges, lubricator etc  are still in their original bags.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe engine is still in production - it makes a good sized rally  engine which is capable of pulling the driver and a couple of passengers, yet at  the same time will fit into most cars.
