Coal-fired copper boiler  silver-soldered throughout, boiler feed by mechanical pump and injector with a  lifting injector for filling the tender. Single cylinder with Stephenson's valve  gear, mechanical and displacement lubricators, governor and whistle. Cylinder  drain cocks operated from the footplate.  \u003cp\u003eThe engine drives through a two speed transmission with differential. There  is a powerful band brake fitted on the offside third shaft and winch behind the  nearside rear wheel. The straked wheels are particularly effective over soft  ground and the engine comfortably pulls its driver and a couple of boys!\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn good overall condition, the front wheels could use some repainting,  otherwise it is a very presentable engine which goes well. In three inch scale a  Burrell is a very practical size for transporting around for club events and  rallies. It is 44 inches long, 29 inches to the top of the chimney and weighs  around 300 pounds. It fits into the back of an estate car and can be comfortably  loaded single-handed using ramps. Despite all these obvious advantages, the  previous owner who bought it from us in 2001 has now part-exchanged it for a 4  1\/2 inch version of the same design (working on the principle that half as big  again will be at least twice as much fun!).\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe engine has a new boiler certificate and is ready to use in the coming  rally season.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54009534513493,"sku":"1975","price":5500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/1975-1.webp?v=1779898131","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/3-inch-scale-burrell-traction-engine-stock-code-1975","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
