However, on test we found it steamed freely and ran well - we would rate this one as a running restoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst most jobs could be done without taking the engine out of use for long periods, it does need attention to the safety valves: they accumulate - fairly typical of this design - but also have a couple of ill-fitting or broken studs holding them down, which require replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn recent years the engine was fitted with a replacement CE-marked boiler, supplied new in 2019 by AJB Engineering. We have club certification going back to that time, although two boiler inspectors both got themselves into a rare old tangle regarding test and working pressures - misreading bar as psi, then compounding the error by recording the working pressure as 125psi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Plastow design is actually rated at 110psi working pressure. In the absence of original manufacturer's paperwork, the boiler will need a twice working pressure test. We've already done our own test prior to steaming the engine and would be happy to warranty the boiler as sound, capable of passing a further test once the safety valve studs have been repaired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe engine is road-registered with V5 document. There is a tender-mounted driver's seat, with front axle weight to improve weight distribution and steering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA worthwhile project - it needs time spending on it, rather than money; repainted there's the potential to produce a good-looking example of this popular design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XdwzrTE1mic?si=NRbB7jCC08rsUeCA\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54229292056917,"sku":"13386","price":12500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/IMG_8344.webp?v=1784104636","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/4-1-2-inch-scale-burrell-traction-engine-stock-code-13386","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
