{"product_id":"3-inch-scale-marshall-traction-engine-stock-code-3725","title":"3 inch scale Marshall traction engine","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eA Marshall traction engine in three inch scale, built by a  highly capable engineer with a 3 inch scale Simplicity already to his credit  when he finished this one in 2003 - he's now onto building a 4 inch scale  Yorkshire wagon in tandem with a 5 inch gauge Shay locomotive.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe engine has all sorts of nice touches, from the driver's  truck with water tank, attached to the engine with a quick detach coupling on  the tender through to the hard rubber blocks knocked in between the strakes,  with the same material over the front iron tyres - they detract nothing from the  look of the engine, whilst being removeable if ever required in the future.  Running down the road is an eerily quiet experience.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eSilver-soldered copper boiler, 90psi working pressure, twin  Ramsbottom safety valves. Feed by pump and injector. Cast iron cylinder, the  piston is fitted with Clupet rings which are superb (and make the engine  virtually lock up with compression in mid-gear). Mechanical lubricator.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eTwo speed transmission with differential, winch behind nearside  rear wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eA large engine compared to the ubiquitous Burrell in this scale,  I found it comfortable to drive. I like the design - it's a strongly put  together machine with details such as large oil reservoirs cast into the  eccentric straps and felt pads fitted to all the oiling points contributing to  an engine that will evidently run all day long on the rally field.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=e1dhPD3jUXY\u0026amp;feature=channel_page\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eThere's  a video of Geoff terrorising the natives with the machine here.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eLength 53 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Width 22 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Height 34 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Weight 465 pounds ready to run\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eTrailer 28 inches long, 23 inches wide\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019106013525,"sku":"3725","price":8750.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/3725-1.webp?v=1779901905","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/3-inch-scale-marshall-traction-engine-stock-code-3725","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
