It's been in steam for much of the afternoon, still runs just as well.

Twin cylinder double high engine, cast   iron cylinders with slide valves actuated by Stephenson's gear, two speed   transmission by gear and chain to back axle.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e    The engine runs like a sewing machine and makes steam like it's going out of   fashion. Must be said Connor and were I impressed by this one (Ashley too,   although he wouldn't admit it). In low gear it feels like it could pull a house   down, high gear is a usable ratio for the rally field - still got some torque,   but at the same time you'll beat any of the 3 inch Burrell to the beer tent   hands down. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=B0ViqrFSilo\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eThere's   some footage of it running around the yard here.\u003c\/a\u003e   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e    Complete with a driving truck and passenger trolley with grass roller, so scope   there for some useful income from your local cricket club.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54009723027797,"sku":"7027","price":4750.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/7027-1.webp?v=1779898943","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/3-inch-scale-caradoc-steam-tractor-stock-code-7027","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
