{"product_id":"3-inch-fowler-ploughing-engine-stock-code-2181","title":"3 inch Fowler ploughing engine","description":"\u003cp\u003eIntroduced by Fowler in the late nineteenth century, the K5 was designed as a  dual purpose engine for ploughing and general farm duties. A large, powerful  machine it was capable of belt-driving implements from the flywheel or ploughing  using the two-speed winch slung beneath the boiler.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eI have sold this engine previously, it has just come back in having done  little work in the last eighteen months. Built from the well-regarded John  Haining 2 inch design scaled up, it is extremely well engineered and  authentically detailed, including fully-operational two-speed winding and  coiling gear slung underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSteel boiler with expanded in tubes, tested last month with new certificate  expiring October 2004. Working pressure 100 psi. Twin pop-type safety valves  hidden beneath the dummy Salter valves. Feed by injector and mechanical feed  pump driven from the second shaft and injector. A stainless steel ashpan is  fitted with side-mounted damper controlled from the footplate.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTwo speed transmission to road wheels, with separate two speed drive via  bevel gears to the winding drum. As on the full size engines, there is no brake  fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn 3 inch scale, the K5 comes out larger than many 4 inch models - over 6  feet long and weighing around 700 pounds. The large firebox and boiler makes for  easy firing and driving. With the distinctive single-cylinder exhaust bark and  ringing from the large winch and drive gears the overall sight and sound is  highly evocative of the full-size original. A really super engine which draws  much attention when rallied.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eLength 74 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Height 38 inches\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019193700693,"sku":"2181","price":11500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/2181-1.webp?v=1779902730","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/3-inch-fowler-ploughing-engine-stock-code-2181","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
