Based on the last Burrell  Showmans to be built, No.4092 in 1930 using the well-regarded Live Steam Models  drawings with professionally-built boiler by Ward's of Sheffield.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eSteel boiler with expanded in copper tubes. Fusible plug in  firebox. Twin Ramsbottom-type safety valves with brass chimneys. Boiler feed by  pump geared down from crankshaft and injector, both drawing from interconnected  bellytanks and tender. The tender has a sight level glass and drain cock.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eTwin cylinder, double crank compound engine with simpling valve  mounted on the tiller-type regulator. Drain cocks operated from footplate.  Mechanical cylinder lubricator, the block carries a very effective steam siren  and governor.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThree speed transmission with differential, screwdown brakes to  flywheel and rear wheels. Winch mounted behind nearside rear wheel, with  fairleads mounted on the tender.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eTwin dynamo electrical setup as per the prototype Scenic  Showmans engines, generating 110V. Voltmeter and ammeter on switchboard at  front, with knife switch providing power to auxiliary power take-off on screw  terminals.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe engine is road-registered with a V5 document and has a  custom-built galvanised twin-axle road-trailer with winch, allowing easy one-man  loading and unloading.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#FF0000\"\u003eUpdate - January 2005\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#FF0000\"\u003eSecond time round I've owned this engine.  I first bought it a couple of years ago, steamed it once for the boiler test,  whereupon my boiler inspector declared it the nicest one he'd ever seen in four  inch scale. Worried to death I'd never find another really nice one, I put it  back in it's trailer and squirelled it away at the back of a friend's industrial  unit (thanks Gary) to avoid any embarrassing questions from the boss. There it  stayed for the following twelve months when, wracked with guilt over not using  it (and under pressure from a dear chap who wanted a good showmans engine) I  sold it. It went out and about last year, including Weeting Rally where it  generated outside the beer tent all night.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#FF0000\"\u003eThree months ago it came back when its  owner moved to foreign climes (taking a rather nice 7 1\/4 inch gauge Hunslet I  had with him, on the basis that it would be easier to get through the airport  security scanners than the Burrell). I used it for the village feast in October  where we generated on the High Street in the pouring rain all afternoon, then at  a local farm's fireworks do where we again provided the illumination all  evening.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#FF0000\"\u003eSadly, standing in the stable, it's right  in Mrs P's field of vision and she's started asking those difficult questions  again. Since I'm already fighting a rearguard action on the indefensible number  of 7 1\/4 inch gauge locomotives in stock, it's now up for sale.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#FF0000\"\u003eThe photographs were, in the main, taken  here about a month ago. The two night-time ones were at Weeting last year and  the picture of the trailer was when it first arrived at the old house. \u003ca href=\"..\/..\/stock%20pages\/2125\/index.htm\"\u003eClick  here for a more pictures of the engine taken in 2003 at the old house.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eLength 88 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Height 47 inches (top of chimney)\u003cbr\u003e  Weight 17 cwt\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ccenter\u003e  \u003ctable border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"2\" width=\"200\"\u003e  \u003ctr\u003e  \u003c\/tr\u003e      \u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable cellspacing=\"10\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\"\u003e    \u003ctr\u003e    \u003ctd align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54009597591893,"sku":"2354","price":22500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/2354-1.webp?v=1779898516","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/4-inch-scale-burrell-dcc-showmans-stock-code-2354","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
