What appears to be a  commercially-produced coal-fired locomotive, probably dating from the nineteenth  or very early twentieth century. Much dismantled, but most if not all the parts  appear to be present in the boxes of bits. Some original paint remains, with a  well-crazed patina (which is probably to be expected after a hundred years  knocking around).    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRiveted, soft-soldered multi-tube boiler with twin Salter-type safety valve.  There is a filling plug screwed into the boiler in front of the dome. Inside  cylinders with slide valves actuated by Stephenson's reversing gear. The crank  axle is fitted with four split eccentric sheaves, the expansion links, lifting  links and weighshaft are still assembled in the box of parts.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEight-wheel bogie tender with a large screw-top water tank loosely fitted in  the back.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt should hardly need saying that this is not sold as either a running or  runnable engine - in deference to its age I wouldn't attempt either to repair or  test the boiler. However, as a rather lovely old relic it is certainly worth  reassembling.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLength\u003cbr\u003e  Locomotive 23 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Tender 18 inches    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDriving wheels 5 inch diameter    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54009558729045,"sku":"2139","price":395.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/2139-1.webp?v=1779898222","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/4-34-inch-gauge-antique-tender-engine-stock-code-2139","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
