Pictures below are from 2006, still in pretty  much the same condition, if anything even cleaner and shinier now.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003co:p\u003e  \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eI very rarely get any of the Maxitrak engines in - it seems  that, once bought, people like them so much they don't part with them. I can  understand why, they always steam well, both the locomotives and traction  engines, and are particularly easy to look after.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThis is the nicest example of their popular 3 inch scale Aveling  \u0026amp; Porter I have seen, a four year old engine which has been fastidiously  looked after - it's the only engine I've ever bought where the inside of the  chimney cap was polished as well as the outside!\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eOverall dimensions are similar to the 6nhp Burrell in the same  scale. It has a copper silver-soldered boiler by Cheddar Boilers, fed by a  mechanical pump and hand pump mounted in the driving truck. Water is carried in  linked belly tanks and tender which gives a useful capacity for the rally field.  An injector would be easy to fit if required. Single cylinder with slide valve  actuated by Stephenson's valve gear with pole reverer on footplate. Mechanical  lubricator and rod-operated drain cocks.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThere is a well thought out driving truck containing a large  water tank with hand pump for filling the boiler and fitted with a screw-down  parking brake.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eI ran the engine last weekend with David - neither of us had  driven one before. We were both impressed by how well it steamed and went - it's  a powerful engine with a spectacular turn of speed on the road in high gear. It  is in excellent condition throughout and comes with all original documentation,  boiler certificate to April 2007 and a nice set of firing irons.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eLength 42 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Height 30 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Weight approx 250 pounds\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54009598706005,"sku":"2798","price":7950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/2798-1.webp?v=1779898520","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/3-inch-scale-aveling-tractor-stock-code-2798","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
