This is the first one I've had in - to my eyes a handsome looking engine in this size, something to stand out in the  standard rally line up of Fosters and Burrells.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   Built in 1992 by a highly experienced engineer, the engine saw little or no use  in his hands after completion - it appears he was a builder rather than a driver  - and was only test steamed a couple of times in the hands of its second (and  last owner). It came to us with a good deal of documentation and a recent club  hydraulic test certificate - it had yet to have its first documented steam test.  Still runs like a new engine, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UC9DAwsnLZ4\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ethere's  a clip of it here\u003c\/a\u003e.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   Welded steel boiler with expanded tubes, 100psi working pressure, feed by  mechanical pump (driven at half speed from the crankshaft) and injector. Twin  spring type safety valves, fitted beneath dummy Salter type valves.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   Cast iron cylinder with slide valve actuated by Stephenson's gear, pole  reverser. Mechanical lubricator with auxiliary displacement lubricator. Watt  governor and bell type whistle mounted on cylinder block.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   Three shaft, two speed transmission, winch drum behind nearside rear wheel.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   The engine is well-built, fit and finish of machined parts is good and the  paintwork remains in fine condition. There is minor surface tarnishing of the  brightwork which a Saturday morning with the Scotchbrite and Brasso would have  gleaming. There are nice details all over this one, from the steam chest  pressure gauge to the footplate boarding, miniature bucket and oil can to the  remote oilers for the back axle.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   Length 64 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Rear wheel 23 inches diameter\u003cbr\u003e  Height 45 inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54010085212501,"sku":"7158","price":14500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/7158-1.webp?v=1779900362","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/4-inch-scale-durham-north-yorkshire-traction-engine-stock-code-7158","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
