Feed by crankshaft  driven pump, injector with auxiliary hand pump in tender. Water lifter with  tender-mounted hose, there is a useful sight glass on the tender to show water  level. Single cylinder with slide valve actuated by Stephenson's  gear with pole reverser on footplate. Mechanical lubricator. Two road speeds,  winch drum behind nearside rear wheen with fairleads on tender. Rubber tyres hot  bonded to rims and ground to shape.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe builder regards it as a 4 inch scale engine - it is not the  size of a 4 inch Foster or Burrell, but it towers over a 3 inch engine and is  larger than a 4 inch Ruston Proctor I've currently got in the workshop. It runs  very well - the videos were taken at the end of an afternoon's steaming  yesterday when there was barely 10psi on the clock.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cdiv align=\"center\"\u003e    \u003ccenter\u003e    \u003ctable border=\"1\" width=\"66%\"\u003e      \u003ctr\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"27%\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"180\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e4 inch\u003cbr\u003e          freelance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"180\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e4 inch\u003cbr\u003e          Ruston Proctor\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"180\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 inch Burrell\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e      \u003c\/tr\u003e      \u003ctr\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"27%\"\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"180\" align=\"center\"\u003e65\u003c\/td\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"180\" align=\"center\"\u003e48\u003c\/td\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"180\" align=\"center\"\u003e44\u003c\/td\u003e      \u003c\/tr\u003e      \u003ctr\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"27%\"\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"180\" align=\"center\"\u003e25\u003c\/td\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"180\" align=\"center\"\u003e21\u003c\/td\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"180\" align=\"center\"\u003e20\u003c\/td\u003e      \u003c\/tr\u003e      \u003ctr\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"27%\"\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"180\" align=\"center\"\u003e37\u003c\/td\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"180\" align=\"center\"\u003e35\u003c\/td\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"180\" align=\"center\"\u003e31\u003c\/td\u003e      \u003c\/tr\u003e      \u003ctr\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"27%\"\u003eFlywheel dia.\u003c\/td\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"180\" align=\"center\"\u003e14 1\/2\u003c\/td\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"180\" align=\"center\"\u003e10\u003c\/td\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"180\" align=\"center\"\u003e11 1\/2\u003c\/td\u003e      \u003c\/tr\u003e      \u003ctr\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"27%\"\u003eRear wheel dia.\u003c\/td\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"180\" align=\"center\"\u003e20\u003c\/td\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"180\" align=\"center\"\u003e16\u003c\/td\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"180\" align=\"center\"\u003e17\u003c\/td\u003e      \u003c\/tr\u003e      \u003ctr\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"27%\"\u003eFront wheel dia.\u003c\/td\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"180\" align=\"center\"\u003e13 1\/2\u003c\/td\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"180\" align=\"center\"\u003e13\u003c\/td\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"180\" align=\"center\"\u003e11\u003c\/td\u003e      \u003c\/tr\u003e      \u003ctr\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"27%\"\u003eStroke\u003c\/td\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"180\" align=\"center\"\u003e3 1\/2\u003c\/td\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"180\" align=\"center\"\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e        \u003ctd width=\"180\" align=\"center\"\u003e2 3\/4\u003c\/td\u003e      \u003c\/tr\u003e            \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  The engine is complete with a purpose built driving\/passenger trolley (which can  carry two 25 litre water containers), substantial 12 volt blower, flue brush and  two spare fusible plugs.
